Having the opportunity to live forever and not grow old, still didn't make Neuvillette happy.
His beloved was mortal, that's what upset him. The Melusines were definitely right, loving a person being eternal is not the best idea. It would hurt, but Neuvillette wanted to enjoy the moment. It seemed to you that the relationship wouldn't last long, but Neuvillette promised that he would give you a wonderful life. He never wanted to even think about living without you, he just wanted to enjoy the years with you and your beauty.
You no longer considered yourself a beauty. You were over 50, for yourself and for many, you were just a pensioner, but not for Neuvillette. To him, you were just as beautiful, even more beautiful. He would never regret marrying you.
His fingers gently stroked your cheek. The sun rays that made their way through the curtains decorated your face. You looked.. like an angel in the morning. It was as if there wasn't a person in front of him, but a goddess.
