Zelda pulled up to the mortuary, a bit nervous. She tapped her index finger on the steering wheel as she gazed up at what once was her house.
Zelda got out of the car, walking up the front steps. She wasn't even sure if her sister wanted to see her or was even home.
She knocked, twice and stepped back. She felt like a stranger on these door steps. This is when she noticed Hilda had kept her ashtray on the side table by her bench.
The door opened. Zelda turned and smiled at her sister.
"Zelda...coming home already?" Zelda shook her head.
"I was wondering if you were busy?" Hilda hesitated but said no.
"Well do you want to go Christmas shopping with me?"
Hilda stared at her sister in disbelieve. "What?"
"Christmas shopping...I want to find something for Mary. I don't want to go alone. You are and always was the best at picking gifts." Hilda sighed at this. Her sister actually wanted her help. Hilda's mind told her to say no and shut the door but instead she told her to wait a moment well she grabbed her coat.
Zelda got back in the car, watching her sister walk down the steps and to the passenger seat.
Zelda waited till her sister was buckled to talk again, "I'm sorry, Hilda. I just...I know it's all fast but I really love her."
Hilda smiled, "I know, love. I'm sorry too."
Zelda pulled out of the parking lot and started down the narrow road.

Hilda and Zelda had been looking for a solid hour and she hadn't found anything the woman would like.
They were about to give up when Zelda remembered something she had seen in a window when her and Mary went shopping.
"I have an idea. Follow me." Hilda trotted after her sister, who was walking rather fast.
They got to a shop that read: Mrs. Wright's Jewelry Parlor.
Zelda walked inside looking around for what she had seen the previous night.
"How may I help- Hilda?" Zelda wasn't shocked. Her sister seemed to know everyone in this town. Even Mary before Zelda and her had met.
"Christine! Wonderful seeming you." The tall slender woman walked closer to them.
"What can I help you two with?" Hilda looked up at Zelda.
"Yesterday, I was walking outside and saw a locket in the window. It was silver and had a garnet heart in the middle." Mrs. Wright moved towards a counter, opening it and lifting out a purple satin box. She opened it.
"This the one?" Zelda nodded.
"Zelds, that's beautiful. Mary will look stunning in it." Zelda agreed. She bought the necklace. She couldn't stop picturing Mary wearing it.
They decided to pick up two sweaters for Mary as well. One beige and the other light grey.

"Thank you, Hilda. I couldn't have done this without you." Hilda smiled, hugging her sister.
"No problem, Zelds. I've missed you."
"I missed you too, Hildie."
The sisters parted ways and Zelda returned home to her girlfriend, happy to have her sister back.
