As a performer she was peerless. All she needed was a willing audience and she
would feed off their emotions. Draw them
in to her world where fiction and truth would tango together. She knew she was
meant for a bigger stage and bided her time.
Then she met him, she knew was destined to be his queen. As a widowed father all he needed to see was
her nurturing nature to be sure. So she
played the part and spun a web so sweet and caring.
And now in the royal chamber she stands.
“Mirror, mirror on the wall.”
