The Ring

They are such children really. She is only 23. And Yet
Yet they are getting married. Theirs is a quiet gentle passionate maddening love. And as he concentrates, the veins in his neck tense as if in anticipation, as he slowly slipes the heavy dull ring over her right ring finger. And she smiles at nothing in particular. The gentle bend of his head, the hope in her eyes, the tensed veins in his neck.

I hope they are happy.
