THE QUEEN
One of the Ever-After Stories


She blew me off, but I’m not about to let her. I’ve got to know who she was. This driving force pierced my heart, urging me into a boldness I gave up years ago. Now that I’m this close, I have to get a better look at her face, but the damn fog decided to lift, and I squinted just to catch what I could.

I offered my hand, hoping she’d wrap dainty fingers around it. “Hey, I’m pretty rude. My name is Cole, Cole Masterson.” The sun dipped behind a cloud and out of my eyes for a moment.

The surprised look on her face took nothing away from the softness at the corners of her mouth. There was a sweetness fluttering gently along her jawline and around the curve of her chin, framing her simple yet amazingly attractive face.

“Cole Masterson of G.H.O.S.T.?” Her laugh was like a songbird, light and feathery. “Well, seems the joke’s on me this morning. Please forgive my rudeness.”

She knows me? I must’ve looked as perplexed as I felt because she giggled again. Her smile lit up her face and eyes, and I melted before her.
