...Cinderella's happy for just a moment, because she thinks Prince Charming has found her and they'll live happily ever after.
End of the story.
Book closed.

<b>But</b> it's not really the end of their story, it's just the parts nobody wants to know about. <i>What if</i> Prince Charming and Cinderella didn't get along anymore, but already three weeks after the marriage? Or <i>what if</i> she loves him dearly, but he comes home at night, smelling like another girl's perfume. And then she can either fight him about it. Or swallow it down...maybe with a glass of wine...And so forth. Etc.

There are plenty of ways the <i>fairy tale</i> could end in the <i>sweet-bitter regularity of normal life</i>.
And that is why fairy tales END when Princess and Prince Charming are just <b>starting their joined life</b> together....

<b>But</b> Cinderella isn't feeling anything grim in this picture right now:
She's just <b>happy, with her head up in clouds, dreaming</b> of how wonderful her life beside her long awaited Prince Charming will be!

It's the <b>innocene</b> at/before <i>every beginning</i>!

I hope somebody else feels like me about this! <3
