As her eyelids cut the harsh world out of her mind, her husband appeared before her. “I will always love you,” he promised, kissing her hand. “But you must go back. This is a desolate place. You cannot stay here.” She looked down, her skin glistened where it was kissed, as though it was dipped into a star. “I don’t want to go back, I want to stay here with you. I can stay in the darkness forever and it will be ok, because we’ll have each other.” Yet despite her desperate wish, the squeeze in her eyelids loosened, flooding the void within them with love-dissolving light. By the time her eyes were open, she was still looking at her hand; her wedding ring still glistening.
