And there she was \u2014 tall, graceful, confident \u2014 walking toward him in a dress that seemed made just for her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He held her hand, smiling, feeling like the luckiest man in the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
People whispered about their height difference.
Some smiled.
Some stared.
But none of that mattered to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To him, she was strength and elegance.

How he listened \u2014 not to reply, but to understand.
How he stood a little taller when she entered the room, not because of pride, but because he was proud of her<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
