Full Circle

[Kira]

There it was. Not even five minutes ago, her life, however tiring, was simple and the future was seemingly drawn out. And with that one moment, all that disappeared. The present was all that mattered now and the sorrow and regrets that lurked in the shadows were banished from the recesses of her mind.

"Si."

She whispered as she tried to contain the tears of actual happiness. Years after meeting Lukas for the first time, years after leaving Crete, all of her life seemed thrown light years away from that point in Erie. Lukas started to draw a small band in her ring finger, and her eyes flared as the tears started to trickle down. Her son, however, appeared, silent and serious. His eyes trailed onto Lukas, his memory racing for recollections. His eyes moved onto his mother who was crying but smilling.

"It's ok, cariño."

She waved him towards her, and held him tight. Her happy, teary eyes looked onto Lukas and she smiled.

"We are yours. Forever."
