4 A.M. but this is it….here goes.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXx

I got the news that Susan had passed away that very next year and that she had chosen to auction off the things in her house but she had saved back some things just for me. So I hopped on the first flight to London.

When I arrived, the house was bustling with people from all over the world. Antique collectors, Real Estate dealers, and all sorts of others.

The maid found me and brought me into the room that had been Susan's bedroom but was now bare of all furniture since it had sold. Susan had left me a small collection of things including an old fashioned flashlight (which made me laugh and cry at the same time), a picture of a ship that looked very Narnian indeed (although not the same picture that Lucy, Edmund, and Eustace had been pulled through), a collection of books that had been written by her siblings and her (including one she had written full of the stories she had told me while I had visited) and a dress that I knew had come straight from Narnia it's self although I don't know how. I held the items with tears in my eyes and them had them taken to the limo that had brought me from the airport.

I slipped on my jacket, yes the military jacket I cherished, and prepared to head to the limo myself but…something made me turn around and venture to the living room which was empty but for one single soul. And my heart jumped into my throat.

The one person in this room was medium height with a decent build and dark hair that stuck up, untamed. But…it couldn't be…could it?

I approached slowly and the figure turned slowly. At first I swore I was seeing Edmund again but then the eyes caught mine and my heart fell back into my chest. Blue eyes stared back at me…obviously not Edmund's. But this stranger was rather attractive anyway.

"I'm…sorry," I mumbled when he looked at questioningly, "You…looked like someone I use to know."

"Then he was a lucky man indeed," was the reply, a voice I liked immediately. The accent was a very thick Irish brogue. I smiled.

"Well…we both were then," I replied. He laughed a very lovely laugh and then turned his eyes back to what he had been so intently looking at before. The wardrobe.

"This wardrobe," he said in a confused tone, "No one seems to want it yet…I feel drawn to it for some reason. Is that odd?"

I stood next to him and looked at the wardrobe with unbridled fondness.

"No," I replied, "Not at all because I feel the same way about it. It's…special to this family. I knew Susan from a long time ago and she spoke of this wardrobe often. I guess…it means something to me as well."

The man looked at me and I saw something in his eyes that I liked immediately.

"Then, mystery girl, allow me to offer it to you as a gift," he said cheerfully. "For I purchased it just before you came in."

"Oh, no I couldn't let you do that!" I replied, shocked.

"But I insist," he said, "For it means nothing to me as it does to you. Please, Miss…?"

"Nakoda," I replied quietly.

"Miss Nakoda," he finished.

"I don't know how to thank you," I said in awe as I gazed at the wardrobe.

"How about you go with me to dinner tonight?" he asked with a smile.

I almost said no immediately but something happened then that must have been Aslan's paws. I stuck my hands in my pockets out of nervousness and I felt the crinkle of paper. I pulled it out and nearly cried out when I opened it and saw Edmund's handwriting.

Nakoda,

I know this jacket will belong to you someday because you definitely had it with you in Narnia. Time is a strange thing when Aslan uses it, huh? But since you'll get this someday I want you to know I will always love you but by the time we meet again I'll be like 80 years old and that's just…gross. So I want you know that I don't want you waiting on me or feeling guilty or any…crap, as you would say, like that. Oh, and remember, you will always be a Narnian so act like one!

All my Love and Devotion in one little piece of paper,

Edmund

I smiled and then glanced up at the dashing Irishman who was awaiting my reply about dinner. Well…I had nothing to lose and a whole lot to gain…

"I would be delighted," I gave my answer, "Mr…?"

"Edward," was the reply and I smiled widely. What a coincidence.

"I would be delighted, Edward."

Then something happened that made me feel like I really was a Narnian again, Edward told me the time and told me he would pick me up, then he took my hand and gently pressed his lips to my knuckles. Yeah…this guy was a keeper.
