Why not?

[Lissa]

Hi. I read this duology maybe four years ago and reread it just recently. The same questions that bugged me then still remain questions. I was curious if im the only one wondering why Anna and Bennet cant just be together in real time eventually ? I mean sure its a bit awkward when hes like 20 and she be 27, but you know... eventually like when hes maybe 30 and shes 37? I mean its not exactly ideal but at least it would be normal.
