Reunion

Roxana was getting dressed in a rush, her heart pounding in fear and anticipation, her palms sweating in worry, and her eyes tearing up. Her sister… her sister was found! After so many years… she found her sister. She kept repeating it in her head, unable to believe it. She was so afraid that this would be a dream and she would wake up. 

God, please no. Oh Lord, make this day a blessed one. 

Alexander came to help her as she fumbled with her dress. She was a complete mess.

"Roxana," He stopped her for a moment by gripping her arms. "It is going to be alright. You will meet your sister and hug her and then it will all be alright," he assured her calmly. 

A tear fell down her cheek and he wiped it away gently before pulling her into his arms. He held her for a while, to calm down then he took her away.
