This was delightful story. My favorite part of your Cinderella re-tale was the line:

"I don’t want to be chosen. I want to choose! And for that, I need my own money. Haven’t you read Virginia Woolf?"

Mrs Dalloway meets the Fairy godmother!

Such an imaginative and powerful retelling of the Cinderella story—uncomfortable echoes of my own long ago choices, but now I am so much older and wiser!
