If the only man you ever loved comes back to you, and promises to come back to you again every day for the rest of your life, and every day he will be just as young and beautiful as he was the last day you were with him, no matter how many days, no matter how many years, pass, and all he wants is that each day you are with him, each new day you never thought you would have together, you follow his two simple rules, that shouldn't be a problem, should it?

You learn the first rule when you're about to ask him why he did it, why he tried to take himself away from you. But he can see by the look you're giving him what you're about to ask, and he tells you that not only is he not allowed to answer, but that if you even ask the question aloud, he will have to go away and never come back.

You spend your first extra day together showing him your new paintings. You didn't think you would ever paint again after he left you, but eventually you did. He says the one of the last living dinosaur is your best work.

You learn the second rule when your day with him is about to end, right before midnight. You have to watch him do it, do what took him away from you and ended his life. And you will have to watch it again at the end of every new day with him, again and again for the rest of your life. Maybe you'll get used to it. There will be tears again the next time, but maybe not as many. There may even come a midnight when there are no tears.
