Aleksis stared at Nicolae lovingly, like a girl to her best friend, whom she loved dearly. This was the only man she would have ever considered marrying, when, after 10 years of trying, she could finally let go of her husband.
The four years they had together will always be there, in her memory. They were family and spent so much time together. Nothing can take that away from either of them. Just how Nicolae expressed it in an emotional "I'll always remember it..."
When the music played and the two hugged for one last time, Aleksis and Nicolae finally danced their last dance together. Tomorrow they were supposed to dance as husband and wife, and today, they danced to say goodbye.
It was solemn, respectful, and bittersweet.
