Amplify: My own fairy tale

In the fairy tale ending, the young princess and the prince, having slayed the dragon, ride off into the sunset together, mounted on a white stallion. In the modern fairy tale, two young people walk into a house. Recently, the latter tale has become as dream-like as the first. The end goal is marriage – that’s what I’ve been told by the generations that have come before me. But now that it’s down, I’m rethinking the whole fairy tale ending.
