Four asterisks

 "What an unusual night this is," He said. "Warm as your hands, gentle as your smile... And black. Like your eyes...
 "Black," she agreed. – Not a single star in the sky!
 "And it's very sad, – He said. "Especially for me.
    – - Why? "what?" she asked.
 "Because," he replied, " the night sky is a great black mirror, and the stars are the eyes of lovers who cannot sleep at night and are stifled in their cramped apartments. They go out of the house and look at the sky, and their eyes are reflected in the heavenly mirror and light the way for those who have not yet known the only true joy available to man – to love and be loved...
   – So, in  this  night & nbsp; no lover went out of the house? "what?" she asked. – What about us?".. Now, I look at the sky, but my eyes are not reflected in it...
 "it's because you don't love me," he said sadly.
   – Your  eyes  in the & nbsp; sky, too, do not reflect, – she said resentfully.
     and then he threw back his head and looked up at the sky, and  in the black depths of eternity immediately  two small stars flashed.
     - it's just a miracle! "Oh!" she exclaimed in astonishment.
   & nbsp; Yes. It's a miracle – " he agreed. – But that's what love is for, to work miracles. Believe me.
     And She believed Him.
   & nbsp;Maybe not right away, and not that night, but She believed Him. And when they met again in the night and looked up at the sky, four small stars were already lit above their heads. And these stars always, every night, burned near.
   & nbsp; and still burning.
     And will burn for a long time, for true Love is immortal, and the stars in the sky are lit only by It.
