Pensée Of Anemones

... idylls past

Two people meet at a restaurant not really sure about their future;

The man : so are you finally going to tell me about that big secret of yours before we decide to take a step further?

The woman : maybe ...
She said not daring to look up and meet his eyes.

The man : you know if we are ever going to get involved together then you would need to first trust me first right? Even if it never gets any farther than our talk in this coffee.

The woman :...

The man : you know, you can think of this as confiding to a stranger that doesn't really know about you so he can't judge or his judgement won't really affect you because you don't know him. Don't think of this as discussing with a potential husband candidate . Just think of us as two normal human beings, each with their own broken pasts and shady present.

This gave the woman the courage to look up finally.

The woman : you know you're a very good person. She says while smiling slightly at him. That's kind of why I was worrying about telling you .

I mean you will be dealing with a life full of trouble when you marry me . With lots of emotional pain and fatigue .
The man had to snort at that

The man : who doesn't? When doesn't life get this way? He leaned onto the desk and stared right in her eyes. Then he said
I'm not afraid of pain . It's not like we were guaranteed not to feel it.

The woman tried to hold back a smile with the brush of delicate fingers on her mouth.

The woman : But I'm talking lots of pain for you .

The man : and you ? Don't you worry about yourself ?

The woman : I don't know. .. I can't feel pain... Never had ...

The man looked at her puzzled. How was that possible?

The woman : It's a genetical condition . I'm an anomaly.

The man smiled at her. But still not daring to touch her he softly coaxed her to look at him.

The man : Well then luckily for you I was prepared for a lifetime of pain along with you . I'm colorblind with the ability to see things only in a blur. I have to say it's kinda of sad I can't admire the beauty of my future wife. He said with a big smile.

This made the woman's smile broaden in its turn and her heart filled with love and happiness.

The woman : Yes , I don't mind you either.
She said her eyes filled with tears.

And the surge of gratefulness made her forget their boundaries and she held on tight to his hand at that time, while reminiscing this memory just as she is doing now ,until his last breath.
