It's never long before mother joins me, she always has been quick about these things. I smile briefly at her words and lean into her touch with a quiet sigh. It would be no longer that I could enjoy in her motherly comfort, for when I returned I would be a woman, too old to run to her and hide. I chuckled at the thought and turned my pale gaze on her once again.
" I only hope I make the right decisions."
I fight to hide the waver but it trips my voice none the less. I couldn't help but want to cry. It is a sad day when a girl leaves everything she had known. Its not everyday you go out and make a name for not only yourself but those who depended on you.
With a deep intake of breath I am composed and pull a smile onto my lips, if I could prove to be half the woman my mother was I would do just fine.
"Tephra will be wonderful, I just know it."
The words come when I know they will be strong, and they were. I had a year to become exactly who I wanted to be. Strong, independent, a woman truly meant for Nerine.
