As always, I love your descriptions. They are unique and beautiful. I like how the beginning was more straightforward and it got more abstract as you went along. That said, I kinda got confused by the part after defined. Is that her at the same point in life or as she gets older?

Wow. This is absolutely gorgeous. Your imagery is just...guh. So amazing.

'disenchantedly mesmerizing all the same.'

You have a great way with these closing lines. They always leave a lasting impression with me as the essence of what you write about.
