It was not the grand, romantic meeting that people talk about. Theirs was an unassuming, quiet encounter that most people would have missed. For Lily and James it was the start of something special. Lily was then a young college-student living in a small Vermont town. She was raised on a small farm with a strong sense of independence, and this made her sceptical about love. She was skeptical about fairy-tale love because she had seen her parents' marriage deteriorate over time. James was a charming, spontaneous artist living in the same city, but he had no interest in getting married. He believed in love, but had never met someone who won his heart. On a rainy afternoon in the local bookshop, Lily and John crossed paths. Lily was in the poetry section of the local bookstore when a book from a high shelf fell and hit her on the forehead. She was startled to see James standing above her with a shy smile. He apologized, reaching out a hand to lift her. Lily laughed as she wiped the rain from her coat. She laughed, amused at the awkwardness. James, who is always up for an interesting conversation, nodded without hesitation. The two walked to a cafe across the street and talked about art, books, and the meaning of life. They had walked together to the cafe down the street, talking about books, art and life. During the following weeks, they crossed paths again and again. James would visit the bookstore when Lily worked and talk with her for hours. He invited her to art exhibits where they discussed paintings and sculptures as if it was just the two of them. Lily was fascinated by James’ creativity, passion, and gentle demeanor. He admired Lily's intelligence, wit, and way of seeing the world, which was different from his sometimes aimless, carefree way of life. Soon, they became inseparable. Their bond grew stronger as the months went by. The two went on long hikes through the mountains and shared meals at cozy restaurants. They also spent many hours talking under the stars about their dreams and hopes. Where Lily was cautious and practical, James was reckless and impulsive. They were opposites, but they balanced eachother perfectly. James decided to make the leap in the fall of 1966, after falling deeper and more deeply for Lily over the past year. On a cool, autumn evening, he proposed to Lily under the golden canopy of maples. It was a simple but beautiful moment. James waved the ring, saying "I can't picture my life without you." There were no grand gestures or elaborate speeches. Will you marry my? Lily was surprised and overcome with emotion. She said yes, without hesitation. She realized at that moment that love was not just about passion, but about finding someone to make life more complete and meaningful. In the years to come, Lily and James faced all of life's challenges: moving to a different city, starting a job, and dealing with the ups-and-downs of marriage. Lily and James were steadfastly in love with each other, even through all the challenges. They were there for each other in times of need, they celebrated each other's success, and they always had time for one another. They shared a life, not only as lovers but also as best friends. Their love grew stronger with every passing year as they raised children and raised a family. Lily was surprised at how James' love for her never wavered despite the hardships of life. James was equally amazed by Lily's quiet power, which gave him stability and a sense of grounding he hadn't seen before. The two spent their days together, walking around the town where they met. They would often visit the bookstore where the love story began. Their love grew even stronger as the years passed. The hair was grayer, the wrinkles were more visible, and their pace had slowed down. Lily, who is now 70 years old, was deeply saddened by his death, but knew that their love would continue.
