My Version of Dash & Lily
Passage
I knew Boomer wouldn't take long to get here, so I dove right back in.
I'm sorry I didn't return our notebook to you.
That already seemed like so long ago.
You don't feel like a stranger to me.
I wanted to ask her, What does a stranger feel like? Not to be snarky or sarcastic Because I really wanted to know if there was a difference, if there was a way to become truly knowable, if there wasn't always something keeping you a stranger, even to the people you weren't strange to at all.
I always hoped that after the prince found Cinderella and they rode away in their magnificent carriage, after a few miles she turned to him and said, " could you drop me off down the read, please? Now that I've finally escaped my life of horrific abuse, I'd like to see something of the world, You know?"
Maybe the prince would be relieved. Maybe he was tired of being asked who he was going to marry. Maybe all he wanted to do was go back to the library and read a hundred books, only everyone kept interrupting him, telling him he couldn't ever let himself be alone.
