To please him, she joked with her coworkers and skipped her own lectures.
She crushed my pride.
The rules and boundaries of the industry were also stepped on by her.
What made me finally explode was the marriage proposal Hallie had prepared for Harrison.
That year, she became famous after discovering an asteroid.
She appeared in international magazines and became known all across the country for her beauty and achievements.
At the top of her career, Hallie chose to share her moment with Harrison.
She named the asteroid “The Promise of Mountains and Rivers.”
Under the name of those mountains and rivers, Hallie and Harrison made their vow: To never be apart in this lifetime.
On the night of the award ceremony, under that asteroid called “The Promise of Mountains and Rivers” in the romantic planetarium, she held a small wedding for Harrison.
When Hallie walked toward Harrison in her wedding dress, she did so gracefully. When I saw them make vows of lifelong love beneath the stars, I broke down again.
Hallie and I never had a wedding.
Even after I begged her many times, she only said, “Byron, you know me. I don’t care for meaningless things like that.”
