Both aged 18, held hands at the edge of the hill. There he
went down on his knees and proposed her with a handmade ring, that had a red
stone from the river nearby. It wasn’t expensive but it meant everything to
her. That day, they promised to build a life together.

After 30 years, a couple in their late-40s stood holding hands in
their white picket fenced backyard. With
a smile on their face they looked at their red house.
She raised her left and kept it on his cheek, the red river
stone shined in the morning sun. She smiled at him and said “We did it, we did build
our life, in the same place that we started it”
He held her hand and smiled back and said “My life is you”
She blushed and the looked at the blue expanse of the sea,
water and the houses around.
