The outside world was unknown to her, but she could see a glimpse of it through the window in his room. Like clockwork, every Friday night she would look forward to seeing his other half, his significant other or whomever she may be. She was the most beautiful woman, she had ever seen; she was a natural beauty she didn't need all that makeup, that she would so abundantly use. Didn't she know how gorgeous she was without it, I guess no one had ever told her that. She, was going to be the one to tell her, if she ever got a chance to. Sabatina was this goddess like woman she would see every Friday and Saturday, but as quick as she would appear, she would exit just as graceful every Sunday night. A breath of fresh air... she was to everyone around her. She was so full of joy; her aura would radiate a room. How she wished she could be the one on the other side of the window. Danni was the total opposite. I guess that's why he kept her hidden from most. He kept her away from everyone, for her safety, she told herself. It wasn't that he was ashamed or embarrassed by her. He just knew how cold and cruel the world had become; they would not understand her shy nature or that she was nothing more than a plane Jane, with a hint of awkwardness. He had felt the need to keep her sheltered, hidden for all these years. To Danni, nevertheless, it was ok living in the shadows for the moment, but she was getting ready to make her debut. She, so wanted to be like Sabatina or at least in the same realm. She would no longer admire her from this side of the window. Danni would now let him know that she would be coming out. Her sequestered life would be no more. She felt her heart racing, as all these far- fetched ideas took space in her mind. Wishful thinking is all it was on her part, but oh, how she wished to be let out...just to be in the same circle with Sabatina. Saturday morning, Danni is up early waiting for the goddess to make her entrance, she knew her routine so well. Cup of jo in one hand and an ice pack in the other. Sabatina's hair was in disarray, her eyelashes were off in one eye, even her voice was a tad more hoarse than usual. Although still to Danni, she was the Queen of all Queens. It was always the same thing said, I will never drink after the show again, unless there is no encore, because a Queen needs her encore.... or is it entourage, Sabatina would say jokingly. In an almost robotic way, Danni, would find it funny every time. She would laugh so hard that sometimes she felt she could be heard by those on the other side. Aside of all this Danni, was now ready to let him know how she felt. In all her eagerness to confront him, she stops to notice something that had not occurred or even made apparent to her. She was so mesmerized with the goddess queen, that she never realized his absence. She thought long and hard at it was always the same, Mister and Sabatina were not close or so she thought. As far back as her memories could take her, she couldn't recall him ever speaking to her. Maybe he too was captivated by her mere presence. In so many ways she could see the reason for his absence. Mister was nothing like Sabatina, he too was the opposite, just like Danni. In so many ways, Danni and Mister were alike, but yet aside his benevolent nature, he would deliberately not admit. She would have to wait till he returned Monday from wherever it was he disappeared to. Danni started to see a pattern. Something had become troubling to her. Why had she not realized that after so many years of looking out his window, he was not seeing what she saw. Either he didn't find her as amusing as she did, or he was so intimidated by her he could never be in the same room with her. Whatever the reason, it was puzzling Danni, why she didn't notice this very obvious thing. The more thought she gave into it the more apparent it became. Today... she would ask Mister where he would go every time Sabatina would show up...So, what do yawl think, where did Mister go and would Danni ever make it on the other side of Mister's window. The answer is Yes.... Mister would not go anywhere to far he was always at arm's length. You see, Danni was seeing out the eyes of Mister's, because, in all reality Danni was Mister looking out the windows of his soul. Mister was Danni on an everyday occurrence aside the weekends. On the weekends Mister became who he truly was and longed to be, A woman. A diva, Sabatina. A person who was not afraid of who they were even though society didn't accept it... As for Danny, Mister will finally let her out. Danni, not only did she meet her Queen, but she also became this gorgeous Queen...Sabatina (The Most Beautiful Drag Queen ) on this side of the window.
