My Own Little Corner
“Oh, Your Highness!”
Cinderella smiled, “I’m sorry, Tilda, I didn’t mean to scare you.”
“I just didn’t expect to find you here, ma’am,” the serving girl replied, gesturing to the alcove of a curved back staircase. “Is… is everything all right?”
“Oh, yes,” said Cinderella. “I just needed a little quiet time to myself. I never imagined a palace could be so noisy.”
Tilda smiled back. “I know what you mean, ma’am. You do get used to it, after a time, but quiet is still a precious thing. I won’t mention where you are, unless there’s an emergency.”
“Thank you.”
