He leaned forward to kiss me, his face hovering close to mine, concern in his eyes. “In two months, a full solar eclipse is coming. But from that point on… nothing.”
“Nothing?” I blinked, shaking my head. “What do you mean, nothing? There’s no weather after that?”
“What I mean is… I can’t predict what will happen beyond that point. Everything up to the eclipse, I could tell you everything: how many clouds in the sky, how many drops of rain, the wind, the humidity, everything.” he took a breath, looking me in the eye. “But not beyond the eclipse. There’s just nothing, an emptiness that I don’t understand.”
“Why?” I asked, reaching out for him, my hands gripping his shirt and giving it a shake, “why can’t you see beyond that?”
He rolled his shoulders, looking away from me, over the beautiful landscape that comprised out dreams, at the gently blowing grass and the single tree that stood at the top of the hill, the crown of our piece of fantasy.
“It’s possible that… its because when the moon covers the sun, I’m going to die.”
