"Once upon a time, there was a maiden more beautiful than anyone in the world. While she was walking through the forest, she got lost and ended up in an abandoned palace. When she went inside she saw a hideous prince. After spending time with the prince, they ended up falling in love. When they shared their first kiss, the prince turned into the most handsome person in the whole kingdom."

Your husband, River, told the story to your 2 year old daughter, Aurora. She was giggling while kicking her legs back and forth.

"And that, that is how I met your mother." River closed the book, looking over at you with a slight grin.
