He fell in love at the age of 12, with a short haired, sliver woman who told him to wait for her that he saw for just a moment before he lost his heart and she disappeared through a rift.
He recognised her, even with long brown hair that day in Market Chipping, and, seeing that she did not know him, decided to woo her, leading to a dance over the rooftops.
He recognised her when she knocked at his door in the guise of an old woman. Even as aged as she was, she was still the girl he had fallen in love with and beautiful to him.
Standing here, in the garden, him for the hundredth time and her for the first (and second), and watching her morph from old lady to young girl and back again, he knew that yes, he did love her and that he always would.
