Three years later. 

Persephone was wiping the mud from the picture album that she had discovered within the almirah in the present day. 

“What’s that, mommy?” Eleanor requested her mother within the cutest voice, pointing on the large and delightful image e book. 

“That is mommy and dada’s marriage ceremony album,” Persephone instructed her large lady. Eleanor could be 4 in a couple of months. She was essentially the most attractive little lady anybody had ever seen. Her vivid blue eyes and wild pink curls have been her most stunning options. And if she smiled with these dimples, she was deadly. Particularly on her dad’s coronary heart. 

“Mommy, can I see this? Please. Fairly please,” Eleanora mentioned. If her facial options resembled her dad extra then her antics have been extra of Persephone. She had discovered the artwork of pet eyes from her mother.

As if anybody might ever resist the pet eyes of each mother and daughter. 

Persephone sighed with a smile and began exhibiting Eleanora the photographs that the lady had seen a whole bunch of occasions earlier than. 

“Mommy is so fairly,” Eleanora sighed like her daddy at her mother’s magnificence. No, she did not sigh like her dad. She discovered it from her dad. Every time her mommy could be wanting fairly, her dad would sigh deeply whereas clutching his coronary heart. And he or she discovered it from her dad. 

Nevertheless, it could not be denied that Persephone wasn’t wanting heavenly in her blush marriage ceremony costume. She and Santiago had a seashore marriage ceremony. It wasn’t a really intimate affair just like the earlier one.

“Thanks, Norie,” Persephone smiled at her daughter. “Mommy, I would like the identical costume.” 

“That is a marriage costume,” Persephone mentioned. “Little ladies do not put on marriage ceremony attire. Solely brides can put on them. And you’re too younger to be a bride.”

“Mommy, Eleanora needs to be a bride,” Eleanora stubbornly mentioned. 

“No marriage ceremony. And no brides,” Persephone mentioned, making her stance clear. 

“I’ll ask Dada,” Eleanora mentioned, climbing down the mattress. She ran out of the door to ask Santiago. 

Why did children suppose that their dad will give them permission for no matter they wished? 

Persephone did not thoughts Eleanora’s sudden urge to change into a bride and concentrate on their stunning marriage ceremony footage. She and Santiago seemed so in love right here. It wasn’t simply footage, however even in actual life, they have been so in love. He fulfilled each promise he made to her. He beloved and cherished her much more than she had ever anticipated. And he or she could be damned if she mentioned that she did not love that man equally. 

Their life wasn’t wine and roses however it wasn’t tough both with one another. They confronted larger hurdles in these 4 years however they stood by one another’s sides and refused to go away one another, irrespective of how dire the scenario. 

She did not know what fortunately ever after folks speak about. Each day was a problem however you probably have somebody who you’re keen on and somebody who loves you by your facet, these challenges change into bearable. 

She beloved Santiago with each fibre of her being. She knew he wasn’t man however she additionally knew that he was the perfect husband, an incredible father and a household man. What’s extra that she might ask for? She did not wish to be caught within the dilemma of proper or fallacious even when she knew her coronary heart would all the time belong to him. She made sacrifices for him and he made sacrifices for her. 

As soon as Santiago mentioned she was his redemption and he or she believed it. And why would not she when he was her freedom and peace? 

They discovered what they have been on the lookout for all around the globe in one another. Life was good. Life was so good with him. 

Persephone turned her head when she heard the footsteps of her daughter. She was strolling to him. “What did your dada say?”

“He mentioned if I wish to be a bride I should be fifty years previous first,” Eleanora mentioned. “When will I be fifty years previous, mommy?” 

“In your fiftieth birthday,” Persephone replied and Eleanora set free an ‘oh’. 

Eleanora so simply believed Santigo with none tantrums that Persephone wasn’t even a bit baffled. This was one thing she had been seeing ever since his lady was born. If Santiago mentioned that the Solar rises from the west, Eleanora would refuse to imagine in any other case. On this universe, anybody could be fallacious however her father. 

“Oh, I’ll wait till then,” Eleanora mentioned after some time. “However you need to purchase me a lovely costume.” 

“Positive, I’ll, “Persephone nodded her head. 

“Since I am unable to be a lovely bride like my mommy, can we have now ice cream?” Eleanora requested so cutely and easily that Persephone was left in awe of her daughter’s expertise. 

“Only one chunk, “Persephone ended up saying. She understood what Santiago felt when she used to throw tantrums and refused to eat what Santiago mentioned. 

“Mother, can we go to Uncle Callum’s home after lunch?” Eleanora mentioned, batting her eyelashes. “I heard from my sources that he purchased me a particular dollhouse for my birthday.” 

“It is Sunday. It is impolite to disturb somebody’s weekend,” Persephone tried to make her daughter see that. 

“I am certain Uncle Callum will not thoughts. Did not he say I’m his favorite lady?” Eleanora sassed. 

“Eleanora Vitello, if you happen to disturbed your uncle Callum’s relaxation, I’ll ask your large bro San to not come to our home to take you to his soccer match, “Persephone mentioned. Junior and Eleanora have been inseparable regardless of them having an enormous age hole. 

“No! No! You may’t! Huge bro San, I and Emy are going to see his soccer recreation,” Eleanora mentioned, waving her hand frantically. “Please. Please. I will not go to Uncle Callum’s home.” 

“Good lady, “Persephone mentioned, tucking her daughter’s curls behind her ear. “Now go and prepare. You do not wish to be late.” 

“Yup! I need to look superior,” Eleanora mentioned, working out of her room. 

Persephone seemed on the picture album and smiled at it earlier than putting it again within the almirah, the place it belonged. Someday, she would open it once more to indicate her youngsters their marriage ceremony day.
