Hey, hey, Earth really is blue."
She said, taking off the helmet of her space suit and shaking her hair.
We had just returned to our room on the spaceship after our first spacewalk.
She was still excited and was still talking enthusiastically about the sights she had seen in space.
I smiled and chimed in as she spoke, relieved inside.
I was glad that we had made it to the spacewalk safely.

Before we came on this trip, we had been told of the many risks involved.
We had been told about the risks of accidents during spacewalks, radiation, micrometeorites, and so on.
But we still chose this trip because it was her dream.
It was her dream.
She had been fascinated with space since she was a child.
She had gazed at the stars through an astronomical telescope and read and watched science fiction novels and movies.
I wanted to support her dream.
So I booked this trip as a birthday present for her.

Thank you so much," she said. It really was the best present I could have gotten."
She hugged me and kissed me.
I was touched by her soft lips and warmth.
I knew she cared about me.
I loved her too.

She said, "Hey? Wouldn't you like to experience weightlessness with you one more time?"
She whispered in my ear.
I nodded to her and hugged her back.
