The sun poured in the window as I opened my eyes. Today was the day, my wedding day. I was as nervous as could be. I love Char and I know everything will be better once we're married, but there is an inkling of nervousness inside me.
"Ella, are you awake?" Mandy said, coming through the door.
"Yes." I replied throwing off the covers and climbing out of bed. I slipped out of my nightgown and put on a pale silver dress to go to breakfast.
"Mandy," I questioned, "Do you think I'm doing the right thing?"
"Lady, you're the only one who can decide that. Besides, it doesn't matter what I think, you have to find it deep inside your heart." She replied.
"I love him, I do. But I am nervous about this."
"You don't have to marry him if you don't want to, the curse is over. You can do anything you want to." She told me.
She sat down on the bed and I opened her arms. I crawled up into them and cried on her shoulder as I had done so many times.
"I have to marry him." I replied. "I love him."
"And that is stronger than any magic." Mandy said, stroking my hair. "Come on, let's go to breakfast before it gets cold." I stood up and headed to the dining hall.
