The Sun Is Also A Star

Natasha was a firm believer in science and hard facts. She scoffed at the mere mention of fate, destiny, or dreams too distant to grasp. The idea of her falling head over heels for a charming boy on the bustling streets of New York City was the stuff of fairy tales – something reserved for starry-eyed dreamers, not her. Especially not when her family teetered on the precipice of deportation to Jamaica. Love, she was convinced, had no place in her story. Daniel, on the other hand, had always been the exemplary son, the dutiful student who meticulously adhered to his parents’ lofty expectations. Poetry and daydreams weren’t in his repertoire. However, one fateful encounter changed everything. When he laid eyes on Natasha, all his preconceived notions faded into oblivion. There was something about her that made him believe the universe had grander plans for them, something extraordinary in store. As for the universe, it watched, waiting in anticipation. It knew that every choice, every twist of fate, had led to this singular moment. Countless possibilities stretched out before them, like branches on a sprawling tree. The universe held its breath, pondering which future would unfurl, which story would be written in the stars.
