I fully realize this doesn't actually matter, but I've seen several posts and a few references in fics recently to Andreth and Aegnor's first meeting being the star reflection moment at Aeluin. And because I am deeply unwell about the Athrabeth...

(Bear with me for a sec because I'll explain after the quotes why these details are so dear to my heart.)

Their first meeting is "in the morning upon the high hills of Dorthonion"

and it was their parting that happened with the star reflection at Aeluin:

Which I will constantly scream about because sun! stars! I am unhinged about sun and star imagery when it comes to human/elf pairings (lol just see all of Atandil) and this one !!

Their relationship begins with the rising of the sun (which is referenced more than once as a symbol of the awakening of the Secondborn) and ends with Aegnor seeing a vision of a star (a symbol for Elves) caught in Andreth's hair.

Aegnor, who will then go on to remain "caught" within Andreth's memory "in the Halls of Awaiting until the end of Arda."

Their whole relationship is bookended by the symbols of each’s awakening. The Sun—Vása, the Consumer—and a star beheld by an Elda who is caught by love of the Secondborn.
