The clock struck three, as Mirror turned to look at her husband once again. She was truly astounded, and amazed by him. He loved her in a way nopony else could hope to match.
And to think the first time they met, she had been trying to raze Canterlot in the name of her Queen.
"Are you okay...?" He asked softly, his eyes fluttering open. His concern for her was sickening and tasted terrible...
But she loved it. She loved him. She loved that he was able to see past her carapace, and into the pony she wanted to be.
"Just thinking." She replies.
"I love you Mirror."
"I love you too Ace."
She wished she could of said more, put more feeling into her words, but she couldn't. She didn't know how.
So she leaned over, and kissed his cheek. He was already asleep again.
She turned back to her thoughts.
The adjustment had been hard at first. She had to learn to be a pony all over again. She had to learn to trust, and to be friends. He knew about her, of course. Offered to take her in, once he had found out about...
Don't go there, She thought to herself, I was told to never return. And I love him to much to leave.
The clock struck four, and she sighed, rolling over to see him again.
It was nights like these, nights where she couldn't sleep, that got to her. She knew his feelings were sincere, but couldn't help but wonder.
"How can you love me!? She had screamed, "I'm nothing but a monster! I eat love, for Chrysalis's sake!"
"Because I know you're different Mirror. I know it." He had replied.
She desperately hoped he was right.
