Prince Charming was unavoidably detained.

Day after day, she waited.
Disguised as an imperfect but glorious life, her happily ever after passed her by.

Love this, Susan! Such a true thing. Beautifully depicted.
Thank you! Just a little reminder that life doesn’t have to be perfect to be wonderful.
Susan, good job! He’ll turn up…….
eventually.
Thanks, Whit! And may she enjoy life’s little joys while waiting.
So excited to see another story from you, Susan! Excellent, as always!
Thank you, Lisa! I can always count on you for some encouraging words.
My favorite phrase here is “Disguised as an imperfect but glorious life”. And then the disguise is unveiled. Excellent.
Thanks so much for taking the time to read and comment. I appreciate that!
