August 20th, 1891

Tonight was the last night Zelda had to really finish packing, because tomorrow was the rehearsal dinner, and Sunday was the wedding. She'd retreated to her room after dinner and found herself surrounded by mostly-packed boxes. She'd thought she would have more time than she did, but now she needed to finish — boxing up all her books and trinkets and dresses that still fit, and photos she wanted to bring. Yorick watched from the bed as Zelda considered a bracelet that she was pretty sure actually belonged to Xena. Her wedding dress hung on the closet door.

She set the bracelet down on top of the bookshelf as the door to her room opened. "Hi Ros," Zelda said, grinning at her sister, "I didn't know you were here tonight!"
