she was twenty four when the wedding bells sounded. she was joyous, joyous that the man she adored with all her heart was finally and forevermore hers.

she had never seen him smile so unabashedly before. she drew pride from the fact that it was her who was the reason for that smile. she exulted over his small grins and revelled in them.

she bathed in his chuckles and swam in his oceanic eyes.

she pranced through that night,

for he was now and forevermore, hers.
