The blossoming night spread through the sky as each precious star peaked through heaven’s dark veil. I would see the man tonight. He lived in a cave in the desert; I came from the grassy plains. We would bow; I would hand him his wages; he would tell me all.
The wages, as I discovered, were terrible, but more terrible to live unsure. So, I did the unthinkable.
When he left me, the sun was ready to rise, but I asked for a moment longer in the darkness. I did not want to see myself revealed in a new day.
That is VERY interesting. (Who travels to see whom, if either? If he had (already) left, of whom did you ask permission or grant?)

In our universe, the stars are trillions times trillions for number. Yet “your” stars are precious. Like the other guy above (for I am having one of my fits), I find this VERY interesting.
