I took one of her hands in mine and brought it to my lips for a kiss. “I appreciate it.” I took a deep breath. “Well, here goes nothing.”
We got out of the car and headed to the door and knocked.
We only had to wait a couple moments before a tall lanky gentleman holding a baby in one arm while a small boy clung to his pants legs.”
“Are you Nicholas?” he asked in accented English?
“Yes, is Robin here?”
“Of course. Where are my manners? Please come in.” He backed up enough to allow us entrance.
It had taken me months to trace my sister. I had to go through old high school friends she might have been in contact with. I kept coming up against dead ends, but I finally found a breakthrough when I managed to track down one of her own college friends. Through that lead I was able to find Robin in the south of France. Apparently she was married and had children as evidenced now. I’d contacted her through snail mail and didn’t know if I’d get a reply. It took months before she replied and invited me to see her.
Robin walked into the living room once her husband went to get her. She hadn’t aged much. Her once short bob was now in long brunette waves that hung around her waist.
“Nick?”
I nodded. She then ran into my waiting arms, and we hugged as if time had not stolen all those years from us.
Finally she pulled away with tears streaming down her face. “I missed you so much. I wanted to tell you but—”’
I shook my head to cut her off. “That’s in the past. I’m here to catch up with my baby sis and to meet your family.”
She grinned. “Of course.” She looked at Frankie. “You must be Frankie.”
Frankie smiled back warmly. “I am.”
Robin walked over to my fiancée and gave her a hug. “I’m so glad to meet you. And thank you for making my brother happy.”
Frankie’s smile widened. “I’m very glad to finally meet you as well.”
Robin grinned at both of us. “I’d love for you to meet my family.”
My heart was so happy. I had the woman I loved by my side, and I had my baby sister back. Nothing could beat this feeling. I’m sure Kenny was probably somewhere smiling down on us. “I’d love to.”
