Wedding A Stranger

Anna, Violet, and Quilla stood off to the side of us.

Quilla kept wiping at her eyes like a doting parent watching her only child being married off.

I found it comforting since my actual parents weren't here.

Polly cleared her throat. "Now is the time of restoration. Our land has waited for this day for more than a thousand years. To be a part of this mending is - "

"Twixit. By all that is magical, wait!" Quilla jumped in front of Leo and me, waving her hands in the air.

Sparkles flew everywhere, causing her to sneeze.

"What is it?" I asked, concerned.

"You aren't dressed for a wedding."

I looked down at my basic human clothing and shrugged.

"It's okay." It really wasn't.

I wanted to look gorgeous on my wedding day even if I wasn't marrying the man of my dreams.

But how I looked wasn't as important as getting married and making things right in the land.

"It is not okay." Quilla stomped her foot, speaking words I didn't understand.
