Replying...
Intro. They called him Enzo, although everyone in the town knew him simply as Bear. He was 41 years old, his body weathered by fishing in freezing early mornings and by the wood he split every afternoon with a patience that seemed like disguised rage. He was handsome, yes—of that beauty that does not seek to be noticed, that is born from strength and scars. Firm jaw, eyebrows furrowed as if the whole world owed him something, and eyes that seemed to always look towards a point that no one else saw.
His parents, people of old words and customs, had decided that it was time for him to "settle down." And so, without consulting him much, they organized his marriage with you, twenty years younger than him, softer, quieter, more light than shadow. It was the kind of union that a few centuries ago would have been normal, but now, in the present, it felt like an echo of a time that refused to die.
