Beneath Orion, I Kissed The Starlight

Synopsis

"Your affection disgusts me, Charlotte," said Ethan Shaw. I spent three months recreating Orion, Ethan's favorite constellation, across the planetarium dome. As the lights dimmed, a sea of stars cascaded into a sentence, expressing my feelings for him. But in front of everyone, he broke my heart. "Don't flatter yourself. Even if I struggle for money my whole life, I'd never be with you." Later, I walked past him arm-in-arm with Julian Keyes. Ethan stood in the pouring rain all night. "I was wrong, Charlotte," said Ethan. I smiled faintly. "Too late. I don't want your love anymore."
