�Elijah?�
�Ssh, don�t say anything.� Elijah � the young man � curved his lips sweetly. �I just want to be thankful of your being here, Kristjana.�
�Krista, please.�
�Yes, Krista. And I didn�t have to wait too long for you to come. I do not know how I could stand even a day longer otherwise.�
�Hey.� It was Krista�s turn to shush him. �That makes the two of us. But� but I wouldn�t have dared to dream this moment. I never thought we would meet, Elijah.�
�Krista, love.� Elijah combed her hair with his fingers. �We are bound to be together. We would surely meet one-way or another. I�ve always longed for someone like you.�
That reminded Krista of her ephemeral years in the world. She read over and over in the media. Dark, straight hair and English with accent. Those were Elijah�s type. And she had them all.
�But I though you�ve met your significant other.� Krista remembered a name. Elijah shook his head.
�I thought so too. Yet later on it turned out that we were not meant to be.�
Krista let a moment of silence pass, and then nodded.
�I�m so grateful to meet you here, too, Elijah,� she whispered. �And I�m relieved to be the one being awaited. What would I be and do without you?�
The blue eyes of the fair young man twinkled gleefully. He gathered Krista in his arms and pecked one corner of his beloved�s lips.
�Eg elska thig,� Elijah whispered.
Krista�s eyes widened.
�I didn�t know you speak my language!�
Elijah chuckled.
�Neither did I.�
End
Eg elska thig: I love you in Icelandic.
