Once upon a time...
As I was journeying back home after my heartbreak, I wrote a letter to Terrence informing him I would be arriving and a visit from him would be enjoyed. He agreed and we made arrangements to see each other.
He arrived at the castle and helped me onto the horse and we galloped away.
"Where are we going?" I asked.
"You'll see," he replied.
We arrived at the river where he helped me off the horse. We walked to the edge of the river. "Do you remember what happened here?" Terrence asked. My stomach flipped. I did. I knew what he was going to do, but I wasn't sure I was ready. "Can I kiss you?" he asked. I nodded. He leaned in and kissed me.
If I ever liked his kissing, I sure didn't this time. Or maybe it just was because I was used to Klark's lips. Either way, there was no butterflies and his mouth opened like a snake. As though his jaw unhinged and was going to devour my face.
After what felt like hours, I arrived back at the castle and bid him goodnight.
A couple weeks later, I was set to return home to visit my family yet again. Of course I wrote a letter to Terrence suggesting I see him yet again. This time his response was that he was not eligible any longer.
Before I returned home, the announcement spread to me that not only was Terrence not eligible, but he was also engaged to be married. Two weeks after we kissed.
A man who is kissing other women with his unhinged jaw a couple weeks prior to getting engaged? I think she's the one with the unhappy ending.
...and we lived happily never after.
