Short description

If true love is meant to be, how come its timing is so bad? Why was I married, and she too, though not to each other?

Extended description

She was recently married, after a long and smooth courtship. At one point he had given her a car, a beautiful Lexus, and he had sent flowers to her office quite regularly—large, ornate (nearly monstrous) bouquets, mostly fat congregations of roses delivered by messenger. Really, it was a courtship to stand back and be impressed by with the end a given, judging by all those expensive signs. And now she seemed content, at least from what I could tell.
She was tall, reserved, and had the most beautiful hair I had ever seen, so dark it hinted blue in places, when the light was right (which it seemed to be most of the time). And graceful.

I said, sure, and stopped what I was doing to look at her. She came up to me, almost tentatively; her face, still and serious, and her steps, slow and deliberate—as if gathering strength—told me that what she had come to tell me was important. Three feet away from me she stopped and took me in with a calm that seemed the fruit of a deep resolve, eyes still and brown and holding mine. “Charles,” she said. “I know you neither want nor need to know this, but the truth is that I love you.”
