CHAPTER 1

An Important Day for an Important Person

On a calendar hanging from the wall, a specific date, several days in the future, was circled with now-faded ink.

I was a wanderer, aimlessly making my way through one day after another, but on that particular day I had business that I could not afford to miss.

I had been looking forward to it for a long time. That day held a great deal of significance for me. It was a special day, and for many, many years, I had been waiting patiently, desperately yearning for its arrival.

It was the day I would be able to see her again.

I wondered what kind of face she would make when she saw me. Would she be surprised? Would she smile? She might even burst into tears.

I had learned so, so much from her. So much, I couldn’t begin to recount every lesson.

This day was the beginning of everything—the one that led to all the other days I spent with her. Marked there on the calendar was the very, very important day of my reunion with the woman who taught me just how vast the world truly was.

“I can’t wait.”

I gathered my bags, my heart dancing in my chest.

“A very near approach! Once every twenty-two years! The comet will be visible in the sky!”

Tucking a pamphlet advertising my destination into my breast pocket, I pushed open the door. The narrow portal let out an awful creak as I opened it, as if informing me of its own limits.
