365 Q&A #59: Wallflower

At a raucous house party, one woman stands alone near an open window with a smirk on her face. What's her story?

---

She stares out into the night taking it all in. As she watches the moonlight grown on the lake she sees a young man sitting at its shore. He skips a rock and smiles in delight as the light of the moon ripples from the skim of the rock on the waters surface. The young woman leaves her friend, who doesn't notice her absence anyway, and the party behind to join the young man. She sits down beside him. They sit there in unison staring at the stars, watching the night sky go from a dark blue to a deeper and darker black. No words exchange between them. She would much rather stare at the universe then be in a crowd of people who could care less about her and her hopes and dreams.
