I’ve been working as a highly trained demon-killer for the Vatican for years, Dad. Didn’t you know?
PRINCE PHILLIPE
I didn’t know. I was wrong about you, Mia. You’re not just a princess.
MIA
No, Dad. No, I’m not.

Mia, while this is highly imaginative, in no way does it satisfy the assignment, which was to describe a beloved pet.

Are you okay?
I guess so, Tina. Thanks.
You look kind of…pale. And your eyes are red.
Yeah. Well. I didn’t get much sleep last night.
Have you spoken to him yet? Michael, I mean?
No. Not in person.
Hasn’t he called? Or texted?
Well, yes. But I haven’t written back. How can I, Tina? What is there to SAY?
True. But if he apologized, wouldn’t you forgive him?
He’s not going to apologize, Tina. He doesn’t think he did anything wrong!!!
But this can’t be IT. I mean, it can’t be OVER between you two. You love each other too much!!!!!
Michael himself said—in one of the e-mails he sent—that maybe it’s better this way. You know, that we see other people while he’s gone.
HE SAID THAT????
Well, he didn’t say HE was going to see other people, but that it was okay with him if I wanted to.
Wait—he really SAID that?
Yes.
He did. Well, he said he guessed it HAD to be okay.
Oh, Mia! I don’t know how to say this but—do you think maybe Your Precious Gift is wrong? Because in my favorite romance novels—The Sheik and the Virgin Secretary and The Sheik and the Princess Bride—none of the sheiks were virgins, and it all turned out okay for them and THEIR girlfriends.
I didn’t want to write what I wrote next. Really. It HURT me to say it. But someone HAD to. Because Tina just can’t live in Tinaland for the rest of her life. She just can’t.
Tina. Those are BOOKS.
But Tina wasn’t backing down.
