" you will be so beautiful when you are old. "

A SMILE CREEPS ACROSS GLOSSED LIPS, nose scrunched as his thumbs graze the apples of her cheeks. She forgets she has a body sometimes, that she’s tied to the earth and woven into a cage of flesh and bone. She’s so far away from it sometimes that when she tumbles back, it’s almost a shock to feel something as trivial as a heartbeat. But yes, she feels it now. It skips a beat in her chest as he looks down at her with unfettered adoration.
She imagines her body withering over the decades. Her flesh would grey and her eyes would fade. Her spine would curve and her pace would slow. Perhaps her teeth would fall from her skull as well. But her smile, that would never fade. Nor would the joy that filled her heart when she looked at him.
Ezra’s mouth places a kiss to his palm, twining her fingers around his to plant his hand firmly against her face.
No matter the age of her vessel her soul would shine through, divine and infinite in its loveliness. Such was true of BOTH their souls, for his would follow when time claimed this earth-home and lead him into her realm. There they would walk in glory until the stars flickered out. Yes, she would be beautiful, they would be beautiful as their souls tiptoed towards forever. But there was far more beauty yet to come.
