There is happiness after me, but there was happiness because of me. Mara thought.
Even if she is to spend eternity in hell, he will always be her greatest love. The Anthony to her Evangeline.
The "what if's" still haunts her head, what could have been if things were different—if they were normal. Perhaps in another life, in an alternate universe they would have been together. In an alternate universe, there is happiness in their history, across the great divide there is a glorious sunrise, dappled with the flickers of light from the dress she wore at midnight. Certainly, there is a universe where they are happy.
Maybe the sun will shine on them again. Maybe was all they had but holding on to "maybe" was enough for Mara.
Their tale would go down in the pages of history as the tragedy between an angel and a demon. It would teach the people that no matter the difference you have, love conquers all.
