Priya paused in the space portal to look back at the bright orange sun of Lyra Prime. As she leaned against the portal's circular frame, lost in the rays of the old star, she caught a reflection that made her heart skip a beat – it was you. You were approaching from behind, a familiar face amidst a sea of strangers, and the sight of you brought a rush of warmth to Priya's cheeks.

This is a weird one. At its core it's a mismatched couple romance, set in space. But I'm not sure why it's set in space at all, because everyone in the book has magical powers, and it's the magic that's central, not the technology.
