On impulse, she kissed his cheek -- but then set her mouth against the spot just under his jaw (the place where her lips could count his heartbeat) and kissed more gently. She took her time.
"Yes," she answered, settling back against him again. "Yes. The stars are part of our heart. Before there was time, we named the stars, and their names beat within all of us. You know them, too."
