"Did Princess Momo and Prince Girolamo ever get married?"
"I think so… later on."
"Are they dead now?"
"No… I happen to know that for a fact. The magic mirror only made you mortal if you looked into it on your own. If two people looked into it together, it made them immortal again, and that's what those two did."
***
Momo and Guido sat there side by side, gazing up at the big silver moon for a long time and feeling quite certain that, if only for the space of that enchanted moment, the pair of them were immortal.
