A Dish Fit for A Queen: shallowness

Autumn follows a summer they had basked in, and winter is coming to the kingdom. But the people aren’t worried. Their queen is on her rightful throne. There will be a spring.

They can celebrate their golden, bountiful harvest as their parents did.

Nobody thinks, not even the server who brings the warm apple pie to the highest table in the castle’s dining hall. But the queen’s rosy cheeks blanch as she inhales the aroma of the dish set before her.

Her husband covers her hand.

Snow White reminds herself they burned the enchanted orchard. A queen must be brave.

Ooh, yes. I can well imagine the smell of cooked apple would have that effect.
