Charles rose from rags to riches. He has a mansion, his parents' debts are paid off. With little left to do, he booked a seat on the inaugural flight of space tourism provider Galactic Enterprises, only to be told he's just a stand-by, even if he had to pay a quarter of a million dollars for that chance. But with nothing else to do, he headed to the launch town, and met Bev... // Bev was shocked that she had won two seats on the inaugural flight of space tourism from Galactic Enterprises... And she didn't even enter (it was her best friend Kat). Meeting Charles was fun, but she never expected to see him again. Surprise... when one from the initial team was forced to leave, Charles was the backup. // Both had expectations about the other... Bev was dumped by her rich boyfriend (who turned out to be MARRIED), and Charles didn't know that Bev won her seats, and was not rich like him and the reporter was at the behest of Galactic Enterprises, not to make her famous. Can they see through their own prejudices to see the real person, with only three days together before the flight?
The space flight thing was pretty good, and it at least made for a fresh setting. The extra characters are a bit... extra? Felt a bit superfluous, but that's why they're support characters. It's just that I didn't feel much of a darkest hour. 3.5/5
