Never Let Go

"Do you think this'll change anything?" Lily asked. She was looking at her pale self in the mirror, and even though her appearance below the neck could easily have been called 'stunning' or 'perfect', her face didn't echo the happiness she had seen on other brides.

"Shush darling, of course not. People's lives don't change dramatically when they walk down the aisle, you know," said Andromeda, soothingly. She was slowly combing Lily's long hair, even though it was already so fine that her brush met with no resistance as it went down.

"But…now my relationship with James will be official. What if I start feeling guilty?" Her eyes met Andromeda's in the mirror. "I don't want to feel guilty over being with you," she said, shaking her head a little.

The other woman placed a kiss on Lily's head. "Don't think about things like that. It probably won't happen."

"But if it does—"

"If it does then I promise you that I'll stay with you and make that feeling go away. Remember how good I am at distracting you?" Andromeda smiled to herself. "I'll never let go of you, Lily, not even if you want me to."

"Never?"

"Never."
