He nods as his sister speaks about her hand,Ā āI wish I could helpā¦ā Elijah let out in a mutter, and the statement was true. He truly wishes he could help but how? How does he help his sister when there was nothing for him to do? Watching how the girlās mood changes, Elijah drops the topic in his head and smiles back at her.Ā
Nodding again at her comment about the weather,Ā āItās in a week or two yeah, itās been hecticā¦ā Elijah speaks, shrugging slightly. He forgets that Malai wasnāt part of the wedding party, just an attendee like Simon and Jonah. His mood was still wonky, smiling for Malai but feel a pit of sadness in the bottom of his heart- but he was sure it would pass, it usually does.Ā āI guess Iām excited⦠itās pretty coolā¦ā A shy smile at Malai. She knows itās their first wedding since Jasper and Ravenās but the first one Elijah has ever played a huge part in.Ā āFin seems to beā¦. fine? Heās honestly a little stressed but it makes sense as to why⦠you know? All the planning and stuff.ā
āi wish you could too bubba,ā she replies with a shrug of her shoulders. she wishes there could be more done, more to help, more to fix her. but itās all on her now and itās a long road. sheās been here before, she remembers the way but itās harder now. she reaches over and touches his hand gently, wrapping her fingers around a few of his with a squeeze before withdrawing to lean back on the wall. a wince, she looks around for a chair to sit in. standing still hurts a lot, she hates it. sheās supposed to use a chair now when going out of the apartment for long periods but sheās too stubborn and refuses to sit in another wheelchair again. not until sheās old.Ā āi canāt believe itās coming so soon.ā she doesnāt mind sheās not in the wedding party, sheās not related to anyone and sunni isnāt required to have her there. sheās just happy to be invited to the ceremony. part of her wonders if all of the grand wedding decorations and plans will make her jealous that she got a courthouse with no one else around. yeah, probably.Ā āthatās the one thing i donāt envy about it all- the planning. thatās probably the one reason iām happy simon and i skipped all of that.ā laughter.Ā āso what about you and jay? any secret plans i should know about?ā sheās teasing, of course she already knows the plan for sunniās wedding- her and sunni and jay are all in on it. sheās been helping keep it a secret for ages, asking eli to come with her to appointments or shopping or anything to get him out the house while the other two plan the big surprise. sheās happy to help.Ā
