I kiss her forehead and her eyes fall closed. I step back before I decide to hell with my grand plans.

“I’ll see you around, princess.”

She cusses as I exit through the back door. She’ll thank me later. I hope.

Chapter 22

From the text messages of Stubborn Princess and Cedar

Cedar:What’s a baby unicorn called?

Stubborn Princess:Who is this?

Cedar:Too difficult? Here’s an easy one. What’s the name of the world’s oldest unicorn?

Stubborn Princess:Seriously. Who is this? The unicorn trivia show? What do I win if I answer these questions correctly?

Cedar:The world, princess. The world.

Stubborn Princess is no longer available.

Cedar:*gif of unicorn backpedaling*

Cedar:Okay. I’ll give you an easy question. What’s a unicorn’s horn called?

Stubborn Princess:*gif of a unicorn rolling its eyes*

Cedar:Aha! You had the unicorn gif already waiting for someone to talk unicorns with you. I knew it!

Stubborn Princess:Being able to search gifs in the blink of an eye doesn’t make me a unicorn freak.

Cedar:Sure, it does. It’s okay. I like you anyway.

Stubborn Princess:Are we in third grade now? Are you going to pull my pigtails during lunch break next?

Cedar:Princess, I will pull your pigtails whenever you want.

Stubborn Princess:Welp. That went downhill fast.

Cedar:*Gif of a unicorn sledding downhill*

Stubborn Princess:I think we know who the unicorn fan is now.

Cedar:Except I didn’t know whatthe collective noun for a group of unicorns was.

Stubborn Princess:We can’t all be superstars.

Cedar:*Selfie of him doing karaoke* I beg to differ.

Stubborn Princess:*Gif of princess bursting out laughing*

Stubborn Princess:Please tell me the hair wasn’t a wig.

Cedar:It wasn’t a wig.

Stubborn Princess:Are you pouting?

Cedar:*selfie of him sitting on his sofa with his bottom lip stuck out*
