So I pointed at the sun ascending in the horizon. Just as the darkened sky began to lighten. Keep your eyes there. Her green ones flickered to me before following my finger. Her pulse picked up speed. And what happens when it disappears? I would’ve loved to tell her that it never would. That no matter where we were the sun would always be present. But it wouldn’t have been true. The only thing we could count on was that the sun would rise again. Wait for it to return, I told her. ― Krista Ritchie, Long Way Down
