“How many wishes do you think we can get out of this?" she asked, but I couldn't tear my eyes way from the sky. "How many wishes do you need?" "Three." That got my attention, and I turned my head to look at her, but she didn't look away from the sky. "A penny for your thoughts?" I wanted to know. "Just this once," she smiled, and closed her eyes. "Wish one; I get my dad out of prison. Wish two; Selene stays happy. Wish three..." She stopped. "Wish three?" I prompted. She wouldn't look at me, but she squeezed my hand. "Wish three is that I stay with you." There was a lump in my throat, and I squeezed her hand as I looked back up at the sky. "Star light, star bright, the many stars I see tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might, keep this girl for the rest of my life”
