I'm Here // One-On-One // CLOSED

"You are here. And I'm not gonna let you go again. I promise."

Anah laughed. "Diddo." She hugged her sister tightly.

Elina loved the hug. She couldn't remember the last time she received a loving hug.

"There wasn't a day on the mountain that went by and I didn't think of you. I just prayed that you would be safe," she whispered.

"Well, I'm safe, aren't I? And I'm getting married in a few days."

"Of course! I nearly forgot!" Anah exclaimed. "You're getting married!"

"And… I want you to be my maid of honour. Will you be?"

"Oh, Elina, of course, I'll be your maid of honour," Anah said happily, cupping her sister's cheek.

"Good, because I wouldn't actually have a maid of honour if you said no."

Anah couldn't help but laugh. She missed this life more then she knew.

"We need to get you fitted, get your look sorted out… Omigod how could I forget. You need a room."

"What's wrong with my old room?"

"Um… It's kinda… Not a room anymore."

"What is it?" Anah asked, tilting her head in inquiry.

"Uh… A future nursery?"

Anah deadpanned. "Are you…"

"Heavens no!" Elina laughed. "But, you know…gotta have heirs someday."

"God, don't do that!" Anah sighed with relief. "You almost gave me a heart attack!"

"Why? You wouldn't be the one birthing them," Elina smiled. "I'd be a mother and you'd be an aunt."

"Exactly! You'd be a mother!" Anah replied. "My baby sister…" she added with a sly grin.

Elina started at her sister. "What's with that grin?"

"Nothing. I just can't believe how much has changed."

(do you want to skip to the wedding?)

(Sure)

Elina stood in a wedding dress, staring at her wedding tiara, the one her mother had worn. "I'm nervous," She said to her sister.

Anah cupped her cheek. "You look beautiful."

"This was Mother's, you know? I remember stealing it as kids and pretending we were getting married."

"Yeah," Anah agreed with a laugh. "Who knew it would actually happen, right?"

"I thought it would be you before it was me," Elina laughed. "But, look at me. In a wedding dress."

"Looking more beautiful than I ever will," Anah replied fondly.
