ELIA
To Elia's delight, Aymora's cheeks pulled wide in a smile and she flushed with the memory.
"I only stared at him for a long moment, then he leaned down, still holding his hand out to me.
"He said, "I'm sorry I've been blind. How long have you felt the bond?"" Elia laughed as Aymora dropped her voice to a low, deep growl, to mimic the male that she clearly still loved. "I was completely flustered! I'd always dreamed… but I never thought he'd actually see me. And though my feelings were real, I'd never dared hope it was a True Mate bond. I thought… I thought I just pined for him."
Aymora went quiet then, her eyes darting left and right as if she watched herself in her memories. Elia barely breathed, not wanting to snap her back into the present.
