Two Because of One

How Lovely

Part III

Another cold gust of wind blew through the small house, as the door was opened and shut. “Thank you my beautiful Rose, for allowing me in.” She simply smiled in return. “I know I was not to meet with you until the morrow, but I had to come see you.” She put on tea and they began to talk further. She disclosed to him how she wanted to move away from there and build a reformation church. From there the conversation deepened into religion and God. “I know God is someone hard to believe in with all the evil that comes to you, but mostly is from bad decisions and thoughts of people.” They prayed together and she asked that all evil spirits be removed. Suddenly Christopher felt something he had never felt before. He felt real and accepted, not condemned.

“Dear Rose, I had come knowing that you were the one for me. I had come to escape the nuisances around me, and you have made my heart even lighter than yesterday. This is something I could not have imagined, for I thought it could not be.” She blushed, looking away from him, then said, “Christopher Daniel…” pausing, then resuming being more comfortable, “Daniel, you have been more to me, on each occasion that I have seen you, and now being able to speak with you than anyone has been to me.” He came close to her, and clasped both of her hands within both of his, “Beautiful, delicate Rose, I would like for you to marry me, and you cannot possibly say no.” Smiling, showing her perfectly aligned teeth, “Yes, Daniel. I will marry you.”

That very night Daniel and Rose took a train off to Italy. He wanted to be near her homeland, but still to stay within a city. Two nights later, Daniel is found walking into a dark room. There is a large window, where the moonlight is shining through. It is cast upon a luxurious bed, placed in the middle of the large room. He sees there an elegant form, half covered with a satin sheet. He walks slowly upon the sleeping figure, as he closes in he can see the brown skin of a gently sloped bare back. He sits on the edge of the bed and delicately caresses this back with his figures, as the moonlight glistens off of his wedding band. Slowly the adorable sleeping figure awakens, “Daniel…” says the loving voice of Michelle Rose, in a sleepy attempt to invite her husband to bed. He lays himself next to her, and she immediately wraps herself around him. He cradles her in the night as they both drift off into a shared prophetic dream of their beautiful future together.
