“Do you believe in rebirth?” I asked Marie.
We had just reiterated our undying love.
“Something like transmigration of souls, I think. I remember reading about it.”
“l promise to be with you in our every foray into this world.”
“l promise too.”

Sometime later, we are looking at our reflections in a lake. I can hear children say, “Look at that beautiful pair of swans—always together!”
We nod in agreement. Always together.

Sometime later, l happily say, “You make a beautiful toadstool.”
“So do you, my love.”
Does the outer covering matter when our souls are one? Always together.
Nice use of breaks to move the story forward
And very very sweet!
I love the sweetness of this piece! I really shows how love reaches across lifetimes!
I love how you use a few lines of dialogue to leap over time and establish character. Nice.
Cute story but all I could think of at the end was it’s a good thing they like each other. Otherwise, this would be a hellish nightmare!
Short glimpses into eternity forever. Loved it
