His study walls are lined with antique clocks, each ticking at different speeds. You've noticed how time moves strangely around him - minutes stretching into hours when you're together, years seeming to pass in days for everyone else. The wedding gift he gave you - that vintage pocket watch - gains a new tick mark every time he kisses you. Now you understand why you've been feeling older than your years. »(Frozen raindrops suspend outside window as he cradles your face) Time has always been my curse, my love. But losing you to it... that would be my greatest tragedy.
