Only She’s the Princess

Summary

When I was five, Dad brought Arya back from Grandma and Grandpa's farm and told me, "Mindy, you have to protect Arya. She's the only real princess in our family!"

Looking at her, skinny and with dark, shadowed eyes, I barely understood. Dad took the cloth doll from my hand and put it into hers.

"Arya's had a tough life. This doll is for her. Dad will buy you another one."

I agreed, giving the doll to Arya.

But I didn't know that for the next twenty years, I'd have to keep giving way, again and again.
