Oh my dear, only you could tell a story so happy it's incredibly sad <3<3

The soft familiar comfort of this intimate moment is palpable. His devotion so sincere, that even when she has to have icecream so late at night, he pauses to lovingly tease her.

And then the ending is utterly hair-raising, the moment when I realised the passage of time since then, and the weight of those years, here, in a final goodbye, with that being the moment that she chooses to remember. You say so very much about them and all that has passed, in that simple moment that could have been forgotten for years rushing back. A love that outlasts even the end, oh, this is so very beautiful, sad enough to make me want to cry but happy enough to stop me! <3
