The Royal Treatment (Three Word Wednesday)

She emerges from the car
Her eyes darting from side to side
Momentarily allowing a crack in character
Before returning to royal grace
Her veiled smile
Beauty personified
The gown understated elegance
A picture of confidence
Only upon closest inspection
The expected jitters manifest
A trembling hand the only indication
A thin line of sight ahead
Each step toward the fairy tale
Finally greeted by her Prince
With the words
“You Look Beautiful”
