“Are you feeling alright though Sydney?”
Sydney looked up quickly, “Yeah! I’m fine. Honestly. I’ve been waiting for this for a long time…”
Irina touched her daughter’s cheek, “I know you have sweetheart, I just want to give you something before you went out there.” She opened up her clutch purse and pulled out a pair of silver earrings.
“You’re grandmother gave these to me for graduation after finishing school, I figured that since at weddings you need something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue, I figured this was the perfect time to give them to you.”
“Mom, these are beautiful…are you sure you want to give them to me?” Sydney hesitated.
“I was going to give them to you no matter what Sydney,” Irina smiled.
Sydney took the earrings and put them on each ear and looked at herself in the mirror, “Thank you Mom.”
“I love you sweetheart,” Irina kissed her daughter’s forehead and opened the door, “I’ll see you outside.”
