A walled in pond with trees draped with moss brighten by a warm predawn glow Two sisters sit on a small stone clearing keeping secrets of their own that can never be lost A gleam of awe on their lovely faces an open gold filigree chest they hold Lustrous pearls once worn by their grandmother they hold dear ,treasured and old they’ve been told Believing in dreams their destiny might bring forth and the magic of the bond between sisters love that can by no means be lost

so you see Eve, your image is fitting and so beautiful, thank you, in the end we won but so not what grandma would have wanted to have happen. Nor my mother. Now he is dying of bone cancer and asking for us....I guess he has things to confess, my sister refuses to see him, but I may, it is called forgiveness...

There were terrible circumstances after my grandma's death, a wicked uncle tried to cheat us out of our inheritance, and my sister and I had to fight to get what grandma would have wanted us to have, mother had already passed away, that is one reason I hid the necklace and I also took things for my sister~
