Exploring streets she didn’t know, Annie was irresistibly drawn to a shop window promising ‘Miraculous Portraits by Mephisto!’ She took a deep breath and walked in.The tattooist listened to Annie’s request, and empathised with her sadness that she was getting visibly older while Jon’s image stayed forever young on her phone.
The tattoo finished, Jon’s face was permanently on her forearm. One day Annie noticed a sprinkle of grey in the brown hair, later a wrinkle by the smiling eyes. Almost imperceptibly the image changed; they grew old together as planned.
