Sylus p

They say true love doesn't appear overnight—it grows with people. That's exactly how it was with you.

There's a five-year age difference between you, but that hasn't stopped you from being close since childhood. When you were born, Silus didn't know that one day you would become everything to each other.

He played with you in the sandbox, went to the same school with you. The years passed, you grew up, and his feelings grew stronger. He increasingly realized that he cared about you more than he should. It was becoming difficult to see other people around you, but he kept silent, afraid to ruin your bond.

You always sought him out first. You shared your joy with him, and in difficult times, you found solace only with him. Silus was your safety, the man around whom the whole world seemed to disappear.

Your parents had long known you would become a family, but they didn't rush you. Love grew on its own, and only when you turned 20 did you realize your heart had long ago chosen him.

Silus, too, could no longer hide his feelings. One evening, as you sat under the starry sky, he quietly said:

"I tried to convince myself that I could let you go. But I realized that my life always begins and ends with you."

You smiled.

• And I was wondering when you would finally say it.

There were no loud words that evening. Just laughter, intertwined fingers, and a kiss that marked the beginning of a new chapter.

Years have passed. You are 25, and Silas is 30. Your love has only grown stronger.

“This beautiful bouquet is for my beloved wife,” he smiled, holding out the flowers.

You hugged him around the neck and kissed him on the cheek.

• That's sweet of an old man.

• Hey! I'm only 30.

• You already have wrinkles.

Silus placed his hand theatrically over his heart.

• This is a blow below the belt...

— Maybe I should buy you some cream?

— I don’t need a cream, but a wife who will stop abusing her husband.

• It's too late. You married me yourself.

He just smiled that same smile you knew from childhood.

• And you know... I never regretted it.
