“Stella? What’s that, a new nickname you haven’t told me about?” I sigh, regretting letting the name slip out of my mouth. I’ve been thinking it ever since she started talking about her passion for astronomy earlier, and it just kind of…stuck. “Stellaluna. Stars and moon. You’re way more beautiful than the night sky, Carrie. And…I dunno. Carrie just doesn’t seem to fit you somehow.”
