He knelt by the Mirror Pool, gazing into the water. He wanted to see what she saw – the beauty she so often spoke about when gazing at him. He stared some minutes, seeing nothing but his oddly shaped face. He sighed, and sat back on his heels. With one last glance, he was about to stand up and leave, when the smiling face he so loved reflected back next to his.  As he looked at her face lit with love, love shone from his face, too, and that’s when he saw what she said: 

“Vincent, you are so beautiful.”
