Let’s call him Prince Charming.
But she wasn’t Cinderella. Not quite. She had the pretty dresses, though, and the winsome smile.

But happily-ever-after was not in the cards for them.
She watched as he fell in love with other maids.
He watched as she began to fall out of love and into despair.

It seemed heartbreak was meant to be the tale as old as time.
