Ten years ago
Elena ran her forefinger around Elijah's face as if she wanted to capture his features exactly right so to put on a canvas later, to remember his features precisely. Slowly she neared his lips and brushing over them he placed a peck on her finger.
"You have nearly the perfect Michaelanglian features~ " Elena said gazing into his eyes.
"Nearly? Ah, you're hurting my feelings. I thought I was perfection ~ at least that's what I saw in your eyes" Elijah teased."Your heart is perfection" Elena said smiling a little.
"I think you've mistaken. It is yours that is unique. There is no one like you"- he now played with a wisp of her hair.
Elena rubbed his cheek with her thumb looking at him for a second seriously. For a moment he thought she was now going to slip away and call it a day and a strange feeling like cold wind walked all over his heart. Her look was the one seeing as if she was seeing a stranger in front of her.
"Elijah? Are you all right?" she asked.
He neared her and kissed her."I am fine - I just- for a second- I had this crazy premonition- stupid"
"What was it?" she wanted to know.
"It's stupid," he said, "nothing really- I don't know why I said it. The champagne probably hasn't worn off yet."
"Ok, you don't have to tell me. But you can kiss me!"
"That I can do, but there is something I need to tell you-"
"What?" Elena said chuckling a bit.
"I love you!" he looked at her enchantingly.
Her lips streched in a sweet smile as she pulled him over to her, kissing him.
*Flashforward to the present
Elena watched Elijah sleep. He was so very relaxed and at peace. After a year of fragmented sleep, he could finally let float away. This man was her husband, she passed the thought and they had this amazing history as she was told, but nothing was coming back to her. And she wondered if everything was really so perfect. Could things really be so divine. Doubt was worming inside of her. She shook her head to toss the bad thoughts away. The way he kisses her, the way he makes love to her tell her of his genuine affection for her. All of their photos taken on their trips away show happiness, so why is this creeping feeling coming to her. To break away from it, she now got up and took her sketchbook. She sized him up with the pencil and started drawing.
Half way through she stretched her leg touching his and he moved opening his eyes now.
"Don't move," Elena said, "I am not done yet"
"Done?" he rubbed his eyes.
"Nevermind" she put the sketchbook aside, "morning- the way you slept hugging that pillow- just got the urge to draw you"
