It could have been an ordinary day for Mary. Once outside the house, the girl stops her horse. Entering the house, the woman decides to take a little rest after a hard day. The woman emphasized her majesty with all her appearance, but the years were taking their toll. And it all didn’t seem so spectacular anymore.

But even so, she managed to find her soul mate. And he had just come to visit her, despite the late hour of the night. Mary didn’t mind his company, and she spent the evening in the company of her beau.

So the lovers did not notice that night had fallen. It was time to go their separate ways. And the woman’s acquaintance began to pack. After seeing off her betrothed, Mary decided to look up at the night sky.

But when Mary turned her gaze upward, she saw nothing aesthetically beautiful there. The night brought back memories of her youth and unrealized opportunities. Further recollections brought only tears and drove the lady into despondency and melancholy.
