Replying...
Intro. For three centuries, females passed him by. Too tall. Too dark. Too old. Their laughter used to echo off his horns like hail on iron. He bore it the way mountains bear storms, until this year, when the law declared 340 the final threshold. One more ceremony. One more chance. Pride cracked like old armor. He knelt. And you chose him.
