I first saw the 1942 movie 'Casablanca' on TV in my early teens, and I've been a fan of it ever since.
This image is very loosely inspired by the poignant final scene in which Rick tells Ilsa to go "...or we'll
both regret it...maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon, and for the rest of our lives".
But - does my title imply a completely different meaning - and a very different outcome for these two,
from the one that happened in Casablanca? It's up to you!
