My Heart only Beats for You

There was no shadow of Matthew at all but a mirror instead.

It was a large and tall mirror, the size of a person.

That night, when Tobias and Natalie were ready to go to bed, a servant suddenly knocked on the door.

Natalie opened the door.

"What's the matter?" She asked.

The servant lowered her voice. "Miss Godfrey, Miss Bowie is here. She insisted on seeing you."

Natalie's heart jolted.

"You can leave now. I'll be right there."

She looked at Tobias. "Tobias, Bowie is here. I'll go down first."

"Alright." Tobias didn't think too much about it.

Natalie hurried downstairs.

"This can't be good," Natalie thought to herself. After all, why would Bowie come here so late into the night if she brought good news?

Sure enough, Bowie started to cry and complain to Natalie the moment she saw her.

"Natalie, you have to help me. Selina said that she would bring Matthew to me tonight, but she fooled me. She gave me a mirror. What do you think she meant by that? I don't want a mirror. I want Matthew!"

Natalie was confused.

After some time and more wailing from Bowie, Natalie finally understood what was going on.

She was angry and amused at the same time.

She was mad that Bowie spoke such despicable things to Selina.

She was amused because even after so many years, Selina was still the same cheeky girl she knew.

She controlled her amusement and said, "Bowie, don't you know what it means for Selina to give you a mirror?"

"How would I know?" Bowie raised her voice. "She's just jealous of me. She's jealous of me for being prettier, younger, and more beautiful than her."

Natalie snorted. "She gave you a mirror, meaning that she wants you to take a good look at yourself!"

Bowie was speechless.

"What do you mean?" Bowie said, "I'm already pretty enough. Why do I need to look in the

mirror?"

Natalie felt a deep sense of helplessness.
