If she really died, he'd mourn for a while, then move on, perhaps find another young, pretty, gentle, and caring wife to continue his life.
Life went on, with or without certain people.
Wedding vows was a good expectation.
Her only wish was for him to take good care of their kids, to keep them safe from any evil stepmother.
"It's late, and I should go now."
She left his embrace, stepping out of the car and into the night.
Lingering in his arms too long might not be wise for her.
The next day, bright and early, Skyler phoned her.
"Angel, it's me, Skyler. My daddy's not home today, could you come over and play?"
"Sure."
Aurelia took the day off and went over to his place.
Skyler was watering his plants when she arrived, his face lighting up at her appearance, eyes twinkling like stars.
"Angel, you must live on a cloud, with the sun, and that's why you always shine when I see you."
Aurelia chuckled, "I'm no angel, Skyler. I live in a house on earth just like you."
He shook his head firmly, "No, you must be an angel, and you just moved from the clouds to live on earth."
Aurelia moved towards the window sill, admiring the flourishing plants.
