‘Once upon a time there was a princess. Along came a prince who asked her if she’d like to ride on his white horse. She said. ‘I’d like to take a ride on your horse, but I can’t right now because I’m a little busy getting my own horse. Go ride off into the sunset without me, and I’ll catch up to you a little later.’ Suddenly the prince is dumbfounded. He’s never heard anything like this before. Something clicks inside him, and it starts a fire within him that he can’t put out, because she doesn’t need him. And then he says, ‘I have to be with her for the rest of my life.’

Then they fall in love, marry, and ride off into the sunset. And then she tortures him…lovingly ever after.’
