I gazed passionately into his eyes.

"Do you remember when we first met?" I whispered. I knew that he knew. We would never forget that moment.

"I thought I had wandered into a dream." He looked back into my eyes.

"Long years have passed. You did not have the cares you carry now. Do you remember what I told you?" He could not have forgotten. I never would forget.

"You said you'd give yourself to me, forsaking the immortal life of your people." He knew how important he was to me.

"And to that I hold. I would rather share one lifetime with you than face all the ages of this world alone." I grabbed a pendent - the Evenstar - and closed his hands around it. " I choose a mortal life."

"You cannot give me this." He tried to press it into my hands.

"It is mine to give to whom I will." I handed it back to him. "Like my heart."

With these words, we shared a kiss under the light of the moon.
