Reunion with the Don After Parting
We had nothing then, could have been killed by our enemies any moment, but his eyes were always smiling, bright as stars.
Maybe words can lie, but love doesn't.
On our wedding day, Adrian went down on one knee and slid onto my finger a blood-red ruby ring, the symbol of the Donna's power.
He kissed the back of my hand, his eyes faintly red, and asked me softly, "Eve, does this mean we can... finally be happy?"
I looked into his hopeful eyes, bent down smiling, kissed his lips lightly, and murmured:
"Don't be a fool."
Adrian seemed to have deliberately made himself forget.
