Eclipse.
" 'I was going to say if I had found someone, but that won't do. If I had found you, there isn't a doubt in my mind how I would have proceded. I was that boy, who would have - as soon as I discovered that you were the one I was looking for - gotten down on one knee and endeavoured to secure your hand. I would have wanted you for eternity, even when the word didn't have quite the same connotations.'
He smiled his crooked smiled at me."
I marvel at how immortals can still be so sure of commitments,
even when they literally have an eternity long to honour them.
Shame on us humans.
