[She laughs, wishing with a pang she could see how he looks beneath that mask at this moment.]

You're not having second thoughts now are you?

[She lets her flippancy drop, covers his hand with hers and brushes her thumb over the silver band on his finger. She'd given it to him so many years ago, only now it had a new place on the ring finger of his left hand.]

I'm sure. I love you Diego and I want to marry you, I realised last week that anything can happen in this place and I don't want to miss marrying you because I was waiting for everything to be perfect.

[Perfect would be having Maya walk beside her to give her away, to have Pearl in an adorable dress with flowers in her hair and blushing happily at everything, but while Mia hasn't given up hope she'll see her sister again, she knows it's a hope that gets less likely every day.]

Maya... you know that Maya'd tell us that we've spent enough time waiting to do this.
