The Untold Kiss

Once upon a time happened a long time ago.

What if I told you Aurora had to kiss the prince awake?

What would you say?

But let’s not be twee. She didn’t stay and stand guard beside him. She didn’t want to be his bride. She knew he was a prince — another disappointing prince — who wouldn’t ever make a woman happy, not really.

Aurora, however, was kind. She knew there was no worse fate than living a life full of dreaming without end.

She took the prince by his cheeks, her hands cupped around his face, and pressed her lips to his.

It was the first and only time.
