In the ethereal Kingdom of Everywhere and Nowhere, the king and queen long for a third child-one with a pure heart, blind to status and wealth. Their son is kind-hearted and mischievous; their daughter, vain and cold. Unknowingly, they both pray the same prayer to Daphne, Goddess of Poetry and Deep But Redeemable Sorrow. Moved by their sincerity, the Irresistible Forces, particularly Fate, take notice, and the goddess grants their wish. A daughter is born-gentle, kind, and beloved by all. She forms a deep, innocent bond with Ben, the gardener's son, united by their shared love of poetry and wonder for the world. Their first Christmas exchange is marked by heartfelt poems and meaningful gifts, watched in silence by teary-eyed palace staff who recognize a rare, tender connection. As they grow, friendship turns to love. But with age come doubts, fears, and the whispers of darker forces-Jealousy and Pride-pulling at the princess's heart. Torn between emotion and duty, she chooses safety over love, agreeing to marry a kind but unloving prince in a political alliance. On the wedding day, in the dead of winter, the palace staff, loyal to true love, refuse to attend. Magical forces intervene in the ceremony. Though the princess realizes her mistake, she feels trapped-until Father Time rewinds the moment. Given a second chance, the ceremony takes a new path, one that reawakens the memory of their first gifts and their truest feelings. A tale of love, fate, regret, and redemption, this is a lyrical fairy tale where even Time knows when to mend a broken heart.
