"Morris, bring in the bait!" Hatter declared in triumph, a wicked grin spreading across her face.

She had finally won after all this time. This was her chance at last. She would be the Queen of all Queens, and she would conquer one land after another. They would all fall to her power.

Morris dashed off, and she swallowed. Every single puzzle piece of her past was merging into a grater picture.

"Did you enjoy the ride?"

"I'm beginning to suspect you aren't a marriage counselor at all!" Hatter chuckled at this. How long had it taken her to realize? Well, she supposed, like mother, like idiot.

Right before Morris could drive the car off, she waltzd up to his side and pulled him in for a quick kiss.
