[ WP ] A magical mirror shows your reflection and your future soulmate . You only see your reflection .

I take a deep breath in excitement and giggle. I ’ ve spent the last two hours doing my hair and my makeup. I was especially careful in choosing my outfit; this moment had to be perfect. I had been working so hard for so long and this was the moment. I was about to see my soul mate ’ s beautiful face for the first time and I was not going to look ugly next to him. I ’ ve been so lonely for so long and like everyone I ’ ve had my doubts whether anyone could love me but now that I have the Enchantress ’ s mirror I ’ ll know his face and I ’ ll be ready for when I see him. My heart flutters thinking of the moment when our eyes meet for the first time. 
 
 We ’ ll randomly bump into each other in some place that we are both visiting for the first time. He ’ ll say something witty or clever and I ’ ll laugh and then it will start raining and the rest will be history. We ’ ll have the perfect wedding and I will look the most beautiful that I ’ ve ever been in a pearly white wedding dress and he ’ ll smile when he sees me at the aisle. He ’ ll tell me that I ’ m as beautiful as the day we met. As we dance our first dance, he ’ ll whisper the lyrics in my ear as we twirl in front of our parents. His mom and my mom will stand side by side tearing up and reminiscing. Our friends will stand in awe as the cameras flash documenting the moment. Someday when we get old we ’ ll gather all our children and grandchildren in a big circle and we ’ ll show them our scrapbook and laugh at the memories: the perfect life. 
 
 I take another breath and cover the mirror with my hands as I pick it up and brace myself. I close my eyes and fix my hands so I ’ ll have the perfect view of us together. I start to countdown and hold my breath.

 I knew nobody could really love me. Love is overrated anyway.
