Aurora's wedding was fast approaching, and the preparations were in full swing.

Craig, a rugged man's man, wasn't much help in these matters. His go-to response these days was a simple, "Whatever makes you happy."

Exhausted, Aurora flopped down in the middle of her bed one evening, too tired even to think about taking a shower.

"Why can't I have magic? Just a spell, and I'd be all clean!"
