"This is not the right way to bounce back from a break-up," Regina huffed. "He's taking a real person, and I'm taking a UNICORN." She sat silently for a minute, and watched the traffic pulse under her dirty high rise window. Then, exhaling furiously, remarked, "Wait a minute, why did I think that was a bad idea? Unicorns are AWESOME." Indeed, her acknowledgement of the awesome power of the majestic beast worked. And as Regina and her unicorn friend flitted into the bedazzled midnight, he reminded her, "My dear, we belong to no one."
