“You've got me hooked."I can see how passionate you are, and it's truly enchanting."
The fall moon cast its icy light through the window, painting his face in blue hues. He was aware of her presence, but his eyes remained closed as he slipped between wakefulness and a peaceful slumber.
She sat in a cushioned chair beside their bed, watching the cool light play across his face. Some might’ve warned her that this was a foreboding omen of things to come, but she sat calmly, as she had done for several consecutive nights, knowing this was part of life. To her, the moon’s light was the peaceful light of God. His skin was now old, paper thin, and marked with wrinkles. She smiled, knowing they weren’t mere wrinkles, but lines and paths holding stories of a life well lived. Reaching forward, she stroked his hair, now thinning and mostly gray. He’d aged so gracefully, only beginning to show his true age within the last several months. Still, even if he had aged quickly, she would’ve found him as handsome as the day they met.
