"Mother, how did you know we would be up here?" asked Apple whose face was bright red from the embarrassment of getting caught almost kissing Raven.
"I just had a feeling, but do you truly love Raven?" asked Queen Snow White while walking closer to her daughter.
"I do, and I'm sorry if you're disappointed but…," said Apple before her mother took hold of her hands.
"Follow your heart, Apple, it's the best thing you can do," said Queen Snow White while smiling at her daughter.
