The princess and prince awakened the next morning to the lives they led for now....no waking next to one another...a different body was in that place...they both sighed and resumed the day as if nothing had happened in their sleep...but inside they knew it was all different now...and looked forward to evening and to sleep...to perchance to dream...
The princess was sad this day, but not because of the prince...a dear relative of hers had died...a cousin...unexpectedly he was gone...just as her father had left a few months ago...it made her sad...and the carriage she had just bought, was put up for sale...the Wizard loved to trade and sell too much...if he could make a buck...he would do it...she felt that if he could, he would do the same with her...and maybe someday he would find another that he felt was a "trade-up" and leave her...if he did...would she be sad and miss him...or be relieved that he and his games were out of her life for good...the princess didn't really know how she would feel...but she knew that for now it made her feel less...like she might not be good enough to keep...others had made her feel that way before and it was a feeling that didn't go away easily...
The princess wasn't getting any younger and someday it would be too late to live the life she wanted...be the person she wanted to be...if she couldn't have the prince...she could at least have the rest...why, oh why, didn't she try harder...
I'm just too tired and sad today decides the princess... I need to rest and heal...and maybe then I can think this all out...I know, tomorrow I'll talk to the Universe about it and maybe we can find a way together...
Tomorrow...
