Night had fallen while the SF team loaded trucks and cleared post-anomaly detritus. Connor leaned against a tree and picked out constellations. Abby sat cross-legged on the ground nearby.
Wait, was that star moving? It was!
“Look, Abby! A shooting star! Make a wish.”
“Really, Connor?”
“Go on!”
“There,” she said. “Happy now?”
“Yes.”
All at once she seemed impatient. “You finished here?”
“Nearly,” said Connor. “One last check.”
“I really want to get going. Listen, Conn, d’you mind swapping rides home? You go with the SF guys and I’ll take Stephen.” She sprang up, “Smashing! I knew you’d understand.”
