Wonderingly , I took the paper from her hand and slowly unfolded it .

It was only one page , not all three , but as the symbols glimmered in front of my eyes , some of them shaping into the word ceremony , I realized it was exactly the page wed been looking for .

Esther Reed smiled .

Like I said , darling .

Youve always been one of us .

Theres no reason you cant be again .
