It was her mother! It was!
Elsa’s heart warmed, and her eyes filled with tears of joy. She didn’t know if she should speak, and then her name was spoken.
“Mama?”
Normally she doesn’t refer to her parents as anything other than “Mother” and “Father” except in extremely emotional cases, like this one.
That one word was all it took. She may still not remember everything, but she remembered her family. In one quick movement, she wrapped her arms around her daughter, the one she’d been speaking to as a stranger. Idun let the tears flow freely, laughing.
“Oh, Elsa,” she said, stepping back ,and cupping the blonde’s cheek in one hand. “Oh, darling, I’m sorry, I’m so sorry.”
