Hugh and Fiona stood off to one side, their hands linked and foreheads touching, saying goodbye in their own quiet way. Finally, we'd all finished with Claire and were ready to go, but no one wanted to disturb them, so we stood watching as Fiona pulled away from Hugh, shook a few seeds from her nest of wild hair, and grew a rose bush heavy with red flowers right where they stood. Hugh's bees rushed to pollinate it, and while they were occupied— as if she'd done it just so they could have a moment to themselves— Fiona embraced him and whispered something in his ear, and Hugh nodded and whispered.

About This Quote

A beautiful story about a couple having a disagreement and then going on with their lives, sharing a moment together. They both have a deep connection with one another that is not easily broken. When they decide to go their separate ways they still have the ability to communicate without the help of words, which shows how they love one another, even if their relationship can not be repaired at this point.
