The light that remains

“I never wanted to live forever.
I just didn’t want you to be left without me.”

Perfect.
Gentle.
Devoted.
But not alive.

Sophia and Elias met as children, in a world where love felt like sunlight on your cheeks. They grew up together, played wedding in the backyard— and one day, they truly married. They were happy.
