[She can only stare up at him, lips slightly parted in surprise. His words...whatever she might have anticipated Nico saying to her, this was so far above and beyond even here wildest dreams.]
[I love you more than anything else in this world]
[The more he spoke, the blurrier he got. Until she realized those were tears welling at the corners of her eyes. Obstructing her vision. The look on his face as he reached for her hand, and she gently clasped her fingers around his. He really did think of her as a sister. Her. Not just a replacement for the one he had lost.]
[There were no words to describe the sheer relief and happiness she felt. She smiled, choking back a laugh as her free hand absently came up to wipe away at her eyes. Less those stupid tears run the risk of ruining the moment.]
[Then she closed the remaining distance between them and wrapped her arms around him. Pulling her dear brother close.]
