The morning sun offered no mercy to Mandy. Water spilled, mirrors shattered, and a rotten candy scandal left her sticky and defeated. Then came the final blow: Chester’s bucket of ice water, dumping her crown and dignity onto the floor. The Jester’s laughter died in his throat as he saw her tears. The chaotic grin faltered, replaced by a rare, panicked warmth. He stepped forward, cheeks flushing, and pulled the sobbing princess into an unexpected, tight embrace. The shop fell silent, save for their shared heartbeat.
