Jane
I swiftly arrived at the gates to welcome home the recent patrolling party.
"Glad to see you are well, brother."
Nodding he greeted me with, "Here, sister, I saved this for you."
I watched my twin reach into the pocket inside of his formal jacket for something as his other hand grabbed mine, urging me to hold it up flat. And inside my waiting palm...he placed a fortune cookie.
Straightaway I figured he was in one of his more lighter, jesting moods today. I felt a prick of annoyance hit me. Raising my brow at him, I deadpanned. "You're ridiculous."
"Open it?" he requested nevertheless.
"Alright," said I, now with dry sarcasm seeping through my tone. "But next time I expect jewelry. Or a live meal at least."
"Deal."
After I ripped the package and freed the little piece of paper from its crusty shell, I read the inscription aloud for him. "YOU ARE DESTINED TO DO GREAT THINGS."
Alec smiled, and it was the smile of a sly fox. "Hm. Lucky you."
