It seemed so foolish. Something he had not done since he was a child. Surely only children believed that wishing upon stars would lead to anything. Yet…

Here he was for once staring up at the stars above. Eyes looking for a single falling star. What harm was there in making a wish? Even if it never ended up leading to anything. But the sky was so perfectly clear out in the Sea of Clouds. The sky was dotted with thousands of glittering lights in the darkness.

There! One single shooting star streaked across sky above.

“I wish…” Lance’s words were quiet and soft as he closed his eyes. “To be strong enough to protect what remains important to me in my life…”
