Reward

She was thrilled when she received the invitation.

It would be a glittering affair, knowing that the prince was very wealthy. She could well imagine that if he looked on her with favour the coming occasion held great possibilities for her. It may well herald a tremendous change in her life! She made a real effort to purchase the most becoming outfit for the ball. There would be other suitors there, but she felt that her looks alone would make her princess material. Everything was very expensive. The gown would flow nicely when they danced and her crystal slippers would complement the sparkling tiara she wore. She would attend with a sense of unshakeable confidence.

On the night, she certainly caught his eye. He danced with several of the young beauties, but far more often with her. At the end of the evening, her dress was still flowing gracefully and the tiara had managed to stay on, but the slippers, being made of such a hard material, were making her feet hurt. In the cloakroom she called for a taxi on her mobile and gratefully removed the shoes. Her feet didn’t look the best and she decided to make her way to the taxi rank with bare feet. Despite this, considering the prince had been eyeing her up and down all evening, she felt that her future was in the bag.

Arriving home, she realised that she must have dropped one of her slippers somewhere, either in the taxi or when she was climbing in. Considering how costly they were, she would make enquiries the following day.

As it turned out, this idea was cancelled the moment she heard that the prince was going door to door looking for the found slipper’s owner. To add to her excitement and to a degree, her ego, he was offering a reward.

When he came knocking at her door, she tried to remain calm. He didn’t seem to recognise her, but at the sight of what she was holding, he smiled and clapped his hands softly, handed her the money, took the shoe and left without a word.

Needless to say, she was gobsmacked.

Maybe the guy was a crossdresser.

Whatever…

He only wanted the shoe!
