This is short but I can't think of anything so… help?
The plate in my sister's hand slipped and clattered to the floor. She reached out to me.
"Amber… Amber is that you?" She reached out and touched my face. "What happened to you? How can you be here? Oh, forget all the mushy stuff." She lunged forward and hugged me tight. I hugged her back and began to cry.
My sister, my sister, my sister!
She was right here. And she was alive and well.
"Stop being such a wuss! Gosh, you always were sensitive." She scolded me and I began to laugh through the tears.
Jeez it sounded like I was hysterical or something.
She grinned at me and I grinned back, the cuts on my face stretching.
She tilted her head and looked behind me.
"Goldie, Riley… Thanks so much for bringing my little sister back to me. Sit down; I'll get everyone something to eat."
I sat down on one of the purple couches in what appeared to be the living room.
Goldie and Riley grinned at me. And I, even though it hurt a LOT, burst out into random laughter.
Goldie grinned wider and then, she too, let out a sharp bark of laughter.
Riley rolled his eyes and looked at the two of us.
"You two are such idiots."
Then he busted up. He shook with laughter and fell to his knees clutching at his stomach.
All three of us rolled on the ground, roaring with laughter. It had been years since I had laughed like this.
