She'll remember that fateful midnight dance for as long as she lives. She doesn't think of it as the time she fell in love for that came after, only after her marriage to the kingdom's most influential royal. The dance wasn't a dream came true; she made her own dream become a reality, albeit with considerable help from her Fairy Godmother. She recognizes it as her life's turning point, the juncture where she began to go from rags to riches. After all, if the Prince hadn't fallen in love with her then, Cinderella would still be sweeping out chimneys today.
The End
