Abuela
"Soooo when are you two getting married?" Abuela said, poking Ceylon in the side.
Abuela is Chispa's mother figure, and she doesn't have any other children, let alone grandchildren. Her name is Lacy and she took in Chispa after her parents died. Little Chispa thought that the word abuela meant a woman with white hair, and Lacy's hair had been white from a very young age. Thus, Chispa called her Abuela. At first she tried to get Chispa to stop ("No, dear, I'm Lacy.") but little Chispa wasn't having it, and eventually she grew to like it. No one but Chispa and Ceylon are allowed to call her Abuela, though.
Ceylon posed dramatically, as though they were thinking very hard. "Well, Abuela. It is hard to say. When, do you think, will the men down the hall stop their doorway rivalry?"
"Maybe the joy radiating from the union of two soulmates would ease their heavy hearts."
"And maybe the centralites will come down from their towers and give the lower circle our share of the wealth."
"I do believe in miracles, darling!"
"Okay you two." Chispa said, rounding the corner carrying a pan of brownies. "Let's not fight." She set the brownies on the coffee table and sat on a chair across from the two. Ceylon was resting on the couch next to Abuela.
"We aren't fighting!" Abuela and Ceylon said together.
"We are merely having a heated discussion about the prospect of your future wedding." Abuela said.
"Or lack thereof." Ceylon chimed in.
"You're my only baby, Chichi, and I really want to see you married before I go." Abuela said, ignoring Ceylon.
Chispa laughed, "Abuela you are forty-five, you aren't going anywhere anytime soon."
"I still have my old dress, you know. Very stylish back in the day."
"Yes, I know. You were the talk of the town, a vision in pink."
"Pink? You wore pink on your wedding day?" Ceylon cut in. They had never heard details about Abuela's wedding, mostly because Abuela always turned it around on they and Chispa and the two of them always changed the subject in response.
"I did! Pink is my color, too, you know. Pink looks amazing with white. My Leatha about fainted at the sight of me. I'm a traditionalist, as you know, so she had not seen me before the big day, and when I stepped out from behind those big wooden doors, she actually swooned. It was so beautiful, and I, of course, felt like the luckiest woman in the world. She was no plain maiden, either, mind you. She was a vision in a red dress, her black hair pulled up beneath a veil covered in roses."
Abuela got up and walked around the corner, reappearing holding two dresses and a framed photograph. She sat back down and showed Ceylon the photo. It was of her and her wife at the altar, holding hands and staring into each others eyes. "She was far more beautiful than I ever was, but the way she looked at me I know she didn't agree."
"Abuela," Ceylon said. "Why don't you hang the dresses out here? You have this whole wall, and they are beautiful dresses. They deserve to be seen."
Abuela hesitated. "I don't know..." Ceylon grinned, struck by an idea. "How about this? I dare you to keep these out here for a month."
Abuela smiled wide. She never turned down a dare. "Bet you twenty bucks you'll regret that within a week."
Ceylon held out their hand. "Deal."
