MAGGIE
I close my eyes and imagine a quaint town at the foot of a mountain
landscape. The Alps? Aspen? Anywhere with snow.
When that doesn’t do the trick, I picture the Atlantic Ocean, the Arctic,
one of those hydrotherapy cold plunge vats…anything to cool me off as I pose
for literally the hundredth photo today.
“Your cheeks are so rosy,” says a woman wearing Minnie Mouse ears.
I don’t want to think about what my makeup looks like, but I hope I don’t
resemble a wax figure. That would surely scare the kids away. “Apparently,
not even a princess is exempt from the effects of the Florida humidity,” I
mutter while plastering on a bright smile.
The camera’s shutter snaps and then I flit over to the next family waiting
for their photo opportunity. I subtly try to coax people into the shade, but the
cameraman keeps drawing me into the sun.
“You’re in the shadow,” he barks when I edge closer to an awning over a
kiosk.
I step to the left.
“That made it worse,” he says, forcing me and the kids waiting in line to
remain under the blazing sun.
“What’s it like being married to Prince Charming?” a little girl asks when
it’s her turn.
My smile may very well melt off my face, but my job as Cinderella is to
keep it firmly in place. “It’s more wonderful than I ever imagined,” I say in
my best imitation of the soft and lilting voice of the legendary princess.
Thankfully, that answer seems to suffice. Either that or the girl’s mother
doesn’t want her daughter to get any wild ideas about anyone riding in on a
steed and sweeping her off her feet. My real answer is, It ain’t gonna happen,
kid. Sad but true. The truth is, I’m not married to Prince Charming, or anyone
for that matter. I don’t expect a handsome gentleman to swoop in and come
to my rescue—not that I need saving, except from the heat.
Then again, I have a best friend in shining armor. Declan would march in
here with a solution that involves shade and air conditioning. Then he’d tell
the stupid camera guy to bug off—he’s originally from Ireland and that’s
some strong slang over there.
