It has been some time…again. Things have been awfully busy, too busy for me to write down my thoughts and feelings. But on this, my first day as Mrs. Khale Embrise, I shall try.
I can’t believe that it happened. Or that it happened and went off without a hitch. I had always envisioned myself to be someone who would settle down one day. Have a husband. Have a few kits running around. I’ve come close a couple of times before, only to have those hopes dashed for one reason or another. Infidelity. Disappearance. Confusion. More Infidelity. Realizing things just weren’t right.
But this…it came like a storm and swept me up. I have to admit, last eve, I was just waiting for it to come to a shattering conclusion. I daresay Khale would say I was worried. I sent him a note that morning reminding him to be there on time…and then I had my sister bring him his gift…a pocketwatch. So much for subtlety, Alothia.
But he was there. Early even. We shared a few moments before the ceremony, and then were wed in the Sanctum of the Twelve. The rest of the night was much a blur. I couldn’t tell you who was there. I couldn’t tell you what happened at the small reception save that some people drank, and Lily gave a toast that brought tears to my eyes.
Today, I am a bit more lucid. A bit more settled. It is done. There’s no more what ifs…just a list of possible tomorrows, and I’m looking forward to each and every one.
