"Oh, Derick." Luna said, tears welling up in her eyes.
"I knew she was gone. Sin seen to that. I didn't say anything because I knew how much you liked her." Luna really did like Bethany. She was laways there when Luna needed someone to go to, and didn't want to go to Betty.
"Don't you grieve for her?"
"All the time. Just as much as you grieve for Betty."
"I bet so. You were so close."
"Yeah."
"We're all we have left, Derick." Luna realized aloud.
"Yep. I love you, mom." Derick said as the image disapated. "We should be getting back. We've been here for two hours." Derick said, turning to leave.
"Ok." Luna said as they started down the small flight of stairs that led to the barrier. As they entered Guadosalam, they passed two Guado women chatting. Luna couldn't help but hear what they said.
"Did you hear, Rosa? Measter Seymour is to marry!"
"Really? Do you know to who?" Rosa asked.
"Lady Yuna!"
"You have to be kidding me, Violet!"
"I kid you not! I was talking to Warren when..." That was all Luna heard as the women went out of earshot.
"Derick! Yuna's getting married!" Luna cried as she caught up with him. She had slowed down to hear the women.
"Where did you hear that from?"
"Those women."
"Were you listening to their conversation?"
"I couldn't help it!" Luna exclaimed.
"You're just like any other woman. You have to hear ever little piece, don't you?" Derick teased, smiling.
"I do when it has to deal with my sister." Derick laughed and stopped walking.
"You know what?"
"What?"
"I love you." Derick said as he grabbed Luna as kissed her. It took her off guard, causing her ot cry out in surprise. She relaxed after a few seconds and started to kiss him back. She leaned into him for support just as she pulled away. He put his arm around her and they walked back to the inn together.
