Zelda and I stood together on the canal bank watching as they dragged for bodies. We cried when they placed one red shoe in her trembling hands.
We consoled each other after the investigation interviews.
We bonded when we cleaned out Elisa's apartment. The princess didn't have many valuable possessions. I kept her egg timer, and Zelda wasn't parting with that shoe.
Elisa had some money saved. She left a note saying to split it between us.
Our conversations were stilted as we trundled through grief-stricken tasks.
"I think he healed her and took her away with him," I'd say.
Zelda's expression was melancholic, "If she were still alive, she would have let us know."
"How could she? Too many people are still looking for him....for them."
