It’s 12:25 . . .

. . . after midnight.

She’d been warned.

She made a promise.

But . . .

what if . . .

Cinderella . . .

stayed?

“Whew!”

“What time is it?”

“Shoot! I missed my ride.”

“My stepmother’s going to kill me.She is such a bitch.”

“But, baby, it was worth it.”

“Um . . . Have you seenmy other slipper?”
