The visitor did not wait for a reply and walked in. The princess’ heart soared at the sight of her beloved, purple mare. She went from the door to her in a flash, the year’s absence having made her feel cold and she craved the warmth. Twilight reciprocated to the touch, shaking from the joy that filled her. For but a moment they held each other close. This moment was only theirs and was one of many they cherished. But like so many before, it was not to last as a white pegasus guard came in and saluted them. Celestia blinked away a tear and stepped forward. A letter was presented to her and she let out a soft sigh. Quickly she read it before turning to Twilight. Her student spent a moment with her mouth open. Celestia begged for Twilight to tell her to stay. To command her to disregard her duty for their time together. It was not to be though, as it never was, and soon she left the room with the parting words stealing the warmth from her body. “I hope to see you soon.”
