Accident Prone RedSonia 31570K 2022-07-19

Earlier that afternoon...

During the ride to the planetarium, Quentin kept the window on his side open, and fresh air helped disperse most of his nausea. He regrets only swallowing the food without chewing, but he could not make himself chew most of the things which were on his plate because then he will feel the texture which he can't stand. The squid is rubbery, and the shrimps are like the fatty part of bacon without any taste, and just thinking about it makes him shudder. He does not eat sea creatures, unless it's fish. But he did it for a good cause: to spend more time with Brianna.

With his peripheral vision he can see that Brianna is observing him and he is doing his best to focus on the road in front.

Brianna looked at Quentin's handsome profile and she found that his ink black hair fluttering in the wind is enchanting. Every time he sighed, her heart constricted because she knows that he is unwell due to her taking it to far. She wanted to tease him, to test him in some way, but now she is sorry. Well, she didn't know that he is so much set to spend the afternoon with her that he will make himself sick. In a way, his persistency is admirable, and she will not deny that she is touched.

They were stuck in the traffic for some time due to an accident on I-5. Neither of them minded.

Quentin asked Brianna what she usually does on Saturday afternoon in New York, and he enjoyed her stories how she goes with Mia through various neighborhoods while finding hidden gems like a bookstore which serves coffee and ice-cream and stays open until midnight on weekends, or a community garden which is available for anyone with a condition that you take only what you need. They take photos and videos and blog about it.

When they (finally) reached the planetarium, Quentin was giddy that Brianna is by his side and two tickets for the latest show on distant galaxies are in his hand. Every bite of that horrendous salad was worth it!

A number of high-schoolers entered in front of them, it seems that they have a school assignment related to this topic. There was more than thirty of them! They all swarmed to the front rows, for some reason. Don't they know that the good seats are in the back? Other than them, maybe a dozen other people arrived, filling up less than half of the available seats.

”Where do you want to sit?”, Quentin asked Brianna.

The seats are not pre-assigned, so if you want to pick, you need to come early. Today the two of them entered almost last, but there was still plenty of seats to choose from.

”As long as it's in the middle of a row, it will be fine.”, Brianna responded.

They found two seats in the middle, second to last row.

All lights went off and it was a complete darkness for few seconds before the show started.

The volume of the narrator and effects were so loud that it made Quentin feel the vibration in his chest. Or maybe that was his restless heart because he is in a fully-reclined seat next to his fiery Goddess, watching the show projected across the domed ceiling.

Well, Bri was watching the show. Quentin was observing her intently.

It was dark with all the lights off, and the show was focused on the Universe. Other than occasional close-up of a star or a cosmic explosion, most of the ceiling was dark as well.

Quentin was focused on Bri's face and noticed that her eyes are reflecting images from the ceiling. It looked like the whole Universe is in her eyes, and he was confident that his Universe is right there… in the eyes of his fiery Goddess.

Bri is aware that Quentin's attention didn't move from her and she is also aware of his proximity.
