What then?

Eerrmmmm...she smiles looking at all old photos. "These are really old", she said.

It shows how old their relationship is.  Not as old as in a true sense but it  is as old as they have experienced living together.
Many that they have learnt together. Many that they were in an adventure about life together. Many that they have explored each other's arguments and patience.
Many to write here too.
What for sure, she's on the right path taking together along the way the love of her life.
And him...yes, she puts together this character back into her story as she loves this antagonist character very much.
