"Now I understand the lack of logic in the characters' actions in that play we saw, ma'am."

"Yes?" Angela rested her head on Chimbick's shoulder, making his heart race at triple speed. "What helped you understand?"

"Did I help you understand that you are a hero in a fairy tale, too?" She asked, looking up into his eyes.

Chimbick opened his mouth to say no, but stopped to think. Why not? Every fairy tale began with some sort of a disaster or need. That he had in spades.

And then, in the end, the hero would do something extraordinary and reach his goal as a completely different person. A better version of himself.

"No, ma'am." He said finally.

Words stuck in his throat, but he forced them out, suppressing the cowardly urge to present wishes as reality.
