    midway down to my elbows. It was made in whites and reds and the tiny beading was breathtakingly beautiful. However, the biggest surprise was Singing Bird helping me make a pair of moccasins for Red Elk. A gift to him, from me. And that morning, when we were merely an hour away from becoming a married couple, I presented them to him. “My heart, my soul. My Maȟpíya Sápa, I have a gift for you.” I could feel my heart pattering in my chest like a wild rabbit on the run from a hunter trying to capture its next meal. I handed him the moccasins, which were wrapped in a blanket. “You did not need to do this my White Dove,” Red Elk spoke. He took the blanket and smiled. “I may not have needed to, but I wanted to. Just open it,” I encouraged him. Tentatively, he unfolded the blanket, revealing the moccasins. They matched our outfits for the day, so he could wear them as we wed. “You did not need to do this my White Dove, but I am pleased that you have.

I wanted to taste him in my mouth once more. To feel his lips explore my body without fear of rejection. So with that, I slid my hand into his and said, “I’m ready, my husband. I want you.” I stood and guided him towards our new home. It was ours and it already felt like home. Others watched us leave and bid their good-nights, but we only saw one another. We knew they’d be there in the morning, when the sun rose on the Eastern horizon. *** My heart was light and filled with joy as I held Elsie in my arms. She had come so far and looked so beautiful with the long white feather in her golden hair. Someone, probably my mother, had lit the fire and we stood, gazing into each other's eyes. "I love you," I said in her tongue. She had said those words to me many times and I studied them, making sure I could say them properly. Elsie smiled and repeated the words to me, in the tongue of my people. It was if we were becoming one. We kissed in the dancing light of the fire, touching each other as we had so many nights before.
