“When we started dating, I made a silly promise. I told her I’d take her picture every single day, same pose, same time, no matter what. It was just a little way of showing her how much she meant to me.” As I tried to process the heartwarming story, he reached for a thick leather-bound album on the coffee table. He opened the album and flipped through the pages, showing me the photos he had captured.Each picture, perfectly dated on the corner, was a testament to their enduring love story. Some showed a young, vibrant Jill, her smile contagious and eyes sparkling. Others documented milestones like graduations, vacations, their wedding day, a radiant Jill cradling a newborn baby.
The photos progressed, capturing the subtle changes that time brought. There were a few streaks of silver adding wisdom to Jill’s smile, and some wrinkles around their eyes etching a lifetime of laughter. Yet, the love radiating from their eyes remained constant.”That’s… actually really sweet,” I admitted, surprised by the emotions welling up inside me.Mike grinned. “It is, isn’t it? So, no more peeping through windows, okay? Next time, curiosity gets the better of you, just knock on the door,” he winked.
