Endings, in reality, are never happy. Happy endings belong in fairy tales. Real endings are signals of an end. Stories she was told, of fairies and princes and white horses are make-believe. In them people overcome their pasts, it doesn't matter where you are from. In stories, the prince took the girl in his arm, they kissed and lived happily every after.  With Jessica,  she could never forget and overcome her past. Tiffany's betrayal was too much to bare. So when the taller girl leans in for a kiss, she turned away and there was no happily ever after.
