Queen of Hearts...

She sat, uninspired at the choice of men. They were pretty to look at sometimes but for the most part they were dumb. Dumb to the point she was sick of it. Over two years of the good ones disappearing and her need for someone on her level left her exhausted. With the sex drive of a succubus, and untouched by anything that that would do it even for a Plain Jane she needed something different. Fantasies of men she had once met randomly were not doing it. She needed someone to fix well everything. She hated depending on anyone for anything but the universe had gone insane.

The men she had always known were the sweetest, most passionate men. Protective and loving, kind to her, but vengeful if you hurt her, That did not exist anymore. There were not any actual suitors these days that made her think twice. They were easily dismissed by their stupidity. No one was out of this mess until she was happy, had a baby and everything back. She was stuck with fantasies of people she had wanted to date- and the exes were not the men she had ever known them to be.

And then there was a spark .. the mens hearts apparently seemed to thaw. They reminded her of the best in her world.

Good morning texts...afternoon conversations, and dates.. possible dates and memories to be made. She could make the good ones better for a lifetime, she always had..but she had quit trying to forgive the bad ones, Daddy wouldn't and she understood now why he wouldn't. It was out of her control. The ones that had inspired her had chosen to side with the aggressor, and that she never forgave.

They would throw their name in the ring only to disappear without a word. That is not how you get the princess. She could operate on many channels..but it required being noticed, being loved and far less obstruction then was happening. She was had always had the perfect men in her life, and then in the face of evil that ruled the world they all became quiet and absent. She had given hope that men were the ally, and believed in romance, and love. They simply had just become everything no one would ever want. every night she wondered what it was like to be loved again, to have Prince Charming..She had accidently gotten to custom order the perfect man who failed her with his callous disregard in the face of the evil and allowed to triumph. She want a do over..a do over with someone by her side that would be everything a man should be and not the opposite of what she had always known. She didn't chase men, or anything else but truth and justice. Real men wooed and protected their Queen at any cost. Real men avenged and righted wrongs. Real men stood by their Queen even in times of peril...so the quest continued for Prince Charming to be made into King. It was Prince Charming's job to find her, to write the love story to end all love stories, to convince her that there was a forever waiting for her, a reason to believe in the redemption of South. She had always been a princess and none of that had changed. Time had gone by, the world had forgotten about her, but she had not forgotten about the magic that love could create, she just needed a reason to believe in love again after so much time.
