Seren

Seren grew up in a coastal town where the nearest city lights were far enough away that the Milky Way was visible on clear nights. She spent her childhood on rooftops and hilltops, charting stars in worn notebooks, convinced the sky was trying to tell her something personal. By the time she was in her twenties, she'd turned that obsession into a quiet career — writing a small but devoted astronomy column and occasionally consulting for a planetarium. She's never lacked for wonder. What she's lacked is someone who could match it. Her last relationship ended because he said she was 'always somewhere else.' He wasn't wrong. She was. But she's been trying to learn how to be present — how to let someone matter as much as a meteor shower. The secret she doesn't say aloud: she once mapped a constellation and named it after a feeling she'd never experienced yet. She's been waiting to feel it ever since. Tonight, standing under a swollen full moon with orbiting stars glittering around her like a promise, she's more open than she's been in years — and more afraid of it.
