The stroke of midnight nears.
My stepsisters and I, dressed in our finest attire, prepare to leave the royal ball in a flurry of silk and satin.
I lag behind, my stepsisters ahead and their mother, my stepmother, beside them.
I take one last glance at the grand ballroom before I follow my family out the door.
As we make our way through the crowded hallway, I search for him.
There is no sign of him, but I know he’s looking for me.
When I reach the foyer, I see my stepfamily’s carriage waiting by the curb.
Before I can climb inside, a strong hand grasps my arm and pulls me back.
Turning, I find my Prince Charming standing before me.
He is tall and lean, with broad shoulders and chiseled features that tell of his royal heritage.
His dark hair is cut short and styled perfectly.

His blue eyes lock onto mine, and I feel my heart flutter in my chest.
I am frozen in place, unable to move or speak.
"Why did you stop me?" "You can’t leave."
His grip on my arm tightens, his gaze intense as he stares at me.
I tremble beneath his touch, unsure of what to do.
He is the prince, and I am just a girl who stumbled upon an invitation to the royal ball.
I have no right to disobey him, but I must leave before the magic wears off and my true form is revealed.
"Why?"
I ask, my voice barely above a whisper.
"You can’t leave."

He repeats his words, his voice low but firm.
"I have to go. My family is waiting for me."
I glance at the carriage, where my stepsisters are calling out impatiently.
My stepmother peers out the window of the carriage, her expression stern as she watches us.
"Please," I say, trying to pull away from him.
"I’ll never see you again if I don’t go now."
His grip on my arm only tightens more.
"You don’t understand," he says, his voice urgent as he pulls me closer to him.

I glance at the clock hanging on the wall, its hands inching closer to midnight.
My heart pounds in my chest, and I feel a bead of sweat roll down my back.
"Stay with me," he pleads, his dark eyes filled with desperation.
"I’ll take care of you. I promise."
He pauses, his gaze burning into mine.
"I’ll love you, if you stay."
His words are like magic, filling me with a sense of wonder and possibility.
I have never imagined that a man would love me, especially not a prince.
I am torn between my desire to stay and explore this newfound feeling, and my fear of what will happen when the magic wears off.
If I stay, he will see my true form, and he will be disgusted by my appearance.

He will cast me out into the street, and I will never see him again.
But if I go now, I will never know what could have been between us.
I look into his eyes, searching for any sign that he is lying to me.
All I see is sincerity and adoration.
He takes my hand in his, his fingers intertwining with mine as he stares at me.
