“I love it when you call me baby. I saw your light out here and had to follow because I’m a satellite.” “A satellite, huh?” He nods, wrapping his arms around me. “Yeah, and I fell out of orbit. Can’t have me doing that. So I came to you because that’s where we belong. In each other’s gravity.” A warmth spreads throughout my limbs at his words. I should try to get up. Really should. But laying on him like this feels too damn good. “If you’re a satellite, am I your moon?” “We’re just floating through space, getting closer and closer to the sun until we burn.”
