Reminiscence

Chapter 50

Taissa's Pov- "And that's the story of how your grandfather and I met and all the fantastic and no so fantastic times that went with it." I say sitting in front of all my grandchildren. I stand up and brush my pants off to head upstairs to grab a sweater. Evan stops me and caresses my arms. "You've always been a good storyteller Tai." He compliments. I smile and give him a squeeze to his shoulder. I go upstairs and go for my sweater and head back downstairs to where the kids are at.

Evan offered to take me out on a stroll earlier this evening before the grandchildren pleaded me with a story.

Evan stands at the bottom of the stairs. "Hey kiddos we are going to head for a bit okay?." Evan says. Mallory turns from her place by the cutting board and sets her knife down. "Be careful okay you guys? We will call you two for dinner."  Mallory says and we nod.

We head out and down toward the sand where we walk we slowed danced under the pale moonlight  and hold hands for a while before we lay back and rest. "Gosh you remember back in the day when we did this?." Evan says.

I reach out with a wrinkly hand and touch his face."Before I was old and gray." I say chuckling. "Taissa, You still look beautiful after all these years." I beam up at him before leaning in to kiss him. "Happy Anniversary Evan." I say. "Happy anniversary to you too Tai." Evan says leaning in to give me a kiss.

Evan's Pov- As Taissa strokes my face it's as if her once wrinkly hands were going fresh and wrinkle free. Her gray locks turn blonde. Her eyes flutter before laying her head against chest. I look down at my own hands as the wrinkles are slowly fading and being replaced by young built hands. Taissa looks up at me with the most simplest pleasureable voices. "Oh Evan." She says running a hand through my hair.

Taissa's Pov- Evan was becoming less gray headed and his natural hair color was coming in slowly his auburn was becoming more prominet. His eyes were becoming more young and brighter looking my eyes water as I intake everything before me. I nestle against him and he cradles me. "I love you." I declare as I close my eyes.

Evan's Pov- When I wake up I see someone knelt by me. "I was wondering when you were going to wake up." I hear her voice before having to look. I feel her hand in my hair. Taissa kneels before me barefooted, long blonde hair, and in that burnt red dress she wore all them years ago to the Coven premiere.

"Tai?." I say in pure amazement. This had to be a dream we were way up in age at this point. "What's going on?." I ask. "It was time to go home Evan so I went home." Taissa says in smiles.

"What do you mean home? Your home is here with me I-." I then stop. Tears begin to gather in my eyes. "No, Taissa don't do this please. Don't tell me. We have grandchildren and We have 3 beautiful children together remember? Liam a doctor, Avril an Actress,and Mallory an English professor." She looks at me with sadness. "We have been married for 74 years Taissa, It's 2087 we met on the set of American Horror story." I start crying.

"I know Evan, but it was time to go." She says resting a hand against my cheek. I shake my head. "No...No it's not your time. You weren't suppose to leave me." I say. "I haven't left you. I never well." She says.

"Come with me Evan oh it's so beautiful and gorgeous. They say when you die you go back to the happiest point of your life and you do it's all true my happiest point was with you please come with me to the other side.

We have lived our lives, but now it's time to go and see the next chapter." She pleads. I wrap a hand around her wrist and look up at her. How could I say no. She was right I am beyond blessed with this life, but I was ready to join her. I close my eyes and let go taking my last breath.
