Just sixty seconds and I know.

They were right when they said there’s a hole in my heart where Luna should be. They were right when they told me I should fill it. She fills me with light, with rebirth. Hugging her brings a rush of an emotion I've gone too long without: love.

Just sixty seconds of holding her in a hug and I’m sure of it.

Her eyes are unbelievably bright, just like they say her mind is. She’s nervous, but excited. The definition of innocence. I need a distraction, but I know she’ll be more than that. Almost... a daughter?

No... a little sister.

“Queen?”
“Yes, of course, yes.”
“Thank you so much. She’s incredibly gifted, you won’t regret it.”
“What is her name?”
“Twila. Twila Sparks. She turned five in August.”
“I’ll see you next week, okay Twila?”
“Okay.”
“I’ll take good care of her, I promise.”
“Thank you so much, your highness.”
“My pleasure.”

My name is Celeste and I am seventeen years old. I shall love and cherish Twila Sparks for all eternity.

My name is Celeste and I shall be lonely no more.
