March 2015 Challenge: Tell Us a Story! Read: 9 books!
I met a guy, he was wearing an Indigo shirt. He told me that I was His Heart's Desire, the only problem being that I was also His Enemy's Daughter. We were stuck In Between with no way to go. I began to think that it might be Someone Else's Fairytale. He told me to ignore all the Pride and Prejudice, and proposed by saying,"I Love You to Death". We decided to get Married at Midnight, and that's how I became A March Bride.
