Looking in her mirror, Gwen sighed. She couldn’t deny it any longer, she had definite wrinkles and her once dark brown hair was flecked with grey. She was a middle-aged frump.

“What’s up, love?” Rhys came up behind her and slipped his arms around her no longer trim waist, chin resting on her head.

“I’m getting old, wrinkly and fat. Look at me!” She gestured at her reflection in the mirror.

“You’re bloody gorgeous, Gwen Cooper-Williams, I’ll always fancy you.”

“Even when I’m old and my hair’s white?”

“’Course I will!”

Gwen knew without a doubt that he meant it.

The End

Rhys is a gem. Hope Gwen appreciates him.

A man like Rhys is priceless, but I'm not sure Gwen realizes how lucky she is. And also I hope the feelings are mutual and she'll be able to see past the love handles and grey hair.

The perfec husband. If Gwen doesn't appreciate him then she's a fool.

Thank you!

Gwen is all surface, she'll probably get a face lift and go looking for someone who fits her new image better. If she doesn't want Rhys I'm sure there are plenty of people who do!Thank you!

Rhys is a love.
I hope he never realizes that Gwen is not living up to his love.
She doesn't deserve him.

Rhys is a good man blinded with love.

Thank you.
