One stroke. Two strokes. Three strokes. Blue eyes meet gold. It will work out.
A dark-skinned girl sits before a huge mirror. Her gaze is fixed on a dark red neckband, from which dangles a striking aquamarine pendant with beautiful, handmade carvings. She is wearing a pale blue dress accented with dark red and gold. Blue eyes sparkle. Brown hair gleams. She is beautiful. She is happy.
Behind her stands a woman with warm golden eyes. She is combing the girl's hair and occasionally drops a remark about How to Be a Good Fire Lady and Still Enjoy Yourself.
They both smile despite the upcoming public announcement of an engagement that has been four people's secret for the past few hours. Facing the court will be rough. It will be messy, a sheer test of strength in which the girl will have to stand with her back straight and head held high above every sneer and nasty question about herself.
Still, they smile. Because, as the brush glides through the girl's hair, both of them forget about troubles and struggles and battles, and are happy to know that both families grew closer today. The woman gained a second daughter. The girl gained a second mother.
One stroke. Two strokes. Three strokes. Blue eyes meet gold. It is already working out.
