The alternate universe of our heroine...
Just as her sweetest love was gently leading her back to the mundane palacial existence with words of 'reason', a bright dove caught the corner of her eye. Her attention was diverted by a breath-taking view of a new and wondrous land. Like a pioneer standing on a cliff above a vast sea of green, she drank in the beauty. All of it - all of that sweetness - every little thing reminded her of Him. The azure skies peeping through the thick green canopy overhead, the deepening navy of an entire sea of flowers that lorded over the garden, the sprightly blue of the little brook that kissed her toes as she stood, a bit lost, rubbing her eyes awake.
Awake. The realisation came to her with surprising slowness. She was awake now. Not that other world where she was just a girl. Here. Now. And in this now, she felt a presence. Eyes caressing her shoulder blade. She whirled around.
At first she didn't realised just what a little blue was doing in the tall, green grass. The blue moved, a slash of red, a flash of teeth, and blue again. She squinted. Blue and dark, dark and handsome, handsome and loveable, loveable and…
It was not just another blue. It was Him. He has peeped out at her, little more than a child himself.
And after his teasing, alluring smile, had turned and run.
In that minute, in that slow, stop-motion aeon, she had come alive. Finally, after her years on earth, she was awake.
She ran after him.

extrapolating on your idea, pb, i'd like to explore the possibility of creating an alice in wonderland type alternate universe for our heroine. one that runs parallel to her physical reality. i think it might be fun to see where she could have been in her mind (or this other world, since saying she was in her mind is so... limited) while she was lost to the earthly world.
one caveat - it can't be all peachy. i don't think she would have liked sweet without the spice. i am sure the lovers had their tifs. tiffs. oodal.
