In a suburban home in the year 2015, the curtains were pulled, and the moon was making its nightly round as a young girl was making her way to bed. The mom watched her almost teenage daughter hobble over to her twilight throne that was adorned with various pillows and a stuffed animal (or maybe a few). The adolescent was tired, but it was summer and she was almost a teenager, which meant she shouldn't be forced into bed at a measly 10 o'clock, right?
But as the miniature version of Big Ben that her father bought for her when he visited London ticked to 10:07, she knew she had to find a way to stall in order to prove to her mom she could hang with the big kids.

"Goodni-"

"Wait, mom!"

"Yes, Anne?" Her mom was tired and if she had to be honest all she wanted to do was put her feet up and drink some wine and watch housewives be dramatic and extra in the way only they know how.

"Can you..uh...tell me a bed-time story?" The young girl blurted out.

"Huh?" Her mom was confused because her 12 year old daughter hasn't asked for one of those since she was about 7.

"A story, mom, like the ones you and dad used to tell me."

"Oh...um..ok." She agreed, taking a seat at the end of her daughters twin-sized bed. "Where do I begin...Oh I know a good one I haven't told you yet! Although it's a tad lengthy, dear."

"No please mom, take your time." The 12 going on 13 year old smiled because she had done it and now she could sit back and listen and watch the clock tick, all she had to do was stay awake til the end of the tale, but her mom's stories were so action and drama filled, it would be nearly impossible for her to fall sleep.

So the mother sighed once, twice and now three times because did she really want to tell her daughter this story? This story was a bit different from the ones she used to tell or read to her daughter. This one was about heart-wrenching love and passion and sadness and malice and hopes of a better tomorrow.

This was an important story to the mother.

This was the story that initially shaped her into who she is.

She peered at her daughter's wide brown eyes and brown hair and she figured her daughter was old enough to grasp a good portion of it, because without this story her daughter would most likely cease to exist.

And so she began with an "Okay..." and took a deep breath and continued with,
"Once upon a time there was a girl and a boy. And they loved one another very, very much..."
