Tall and fun to be around. Raised in a strict home but is a quite rebellious girl. Sticks by her friends but tends to hold a grudge. Watches her clock constantly, waiting for the day she "meets her prince".
"Ella!" Her mother called from down the stairs.
The bedroom door flung open and she raced down the stairs to see what her mother had called for. Taking a glance down at her wrist as she went.
"Twenty-seven days, four hours, and ten minutes", she mumbled to herself.
"What is your time?", her mother questioned glancing down at her wrist.
This is how it had been ever since ella was young. Every day checking to see the amount of days left. And recently it had begun to sink in how small that number was becoming. It would soon be her time, she would soon meet her match.
"I remember this time. The thirty day mark is when it sunk in for me.."
And on her mother went, day dreaming of her own time, long before her clock was stuck on 0. Of course she was happily married, but losing the joy of the changing numbers on her wrist really affected her on some days.
That was the one thing Ella both hoped for and feared. The zeros.
They were a great sign that you had met your match, but then the fun was gone, the thrill, the hope..
You spend so much time with those numbers that when they're gone you realize how quickly the time went.
Ella realizing her mother's ending to the story, made her way back up the stairs, passing her twin brother Jacob on the way. She faces her closet, "Time to get ready for work."
