"Anytime, Ju." he winked and headed back to Nick's dressing room.
She turned toward the window and looked up at the night time sky and the
bright moon above, so close to the North Star and whispering sincerely,
"Thank You."
Alex and Derek arrived at the church and Alex went on a frantic search for
her best friend. Doing her best to keep out of Kat's sight. She found her
alone and was relieved. "Hey you...you weren't planning to go off and get
married without spending a few last minutes your best friend were you?"
Alex came in and pulled a small box out of her purse, which she pressed into
Julia's hand. "I tried to keep to the traditions, but no borrowing it's
yours. If you need ot borrow something I'll dig something up." Inside the
box was and elogent new chain with a very old pendant containing a pattern
of blue topaz stones. It had been in her family for a long time. It was
also a piece Julia had admired a lot, though the last time she'd seen it,
the thing was on an old fragile chain, that had since given up the ghost.
