Two modern fairy tales

Tale 1
Tale 2

Each left her own world for his.

I'm upset

8:30 PM me: just found out x is getting married 

9:20 PM me: I wonder if she is happy 
but more to the point, I feel quite upset 

11:09 PM V: Why upset?

me: for her getting married, but not to me 

V: Why do you want to marry a girl you don't even know? 

11:34 PM me: Yes, you do have a point 
but I'm still upset

But that's a sadder story

"And the mystery knight should defeat all challengers and name the wolf maid the queen of love and beauty."  

"She was," said Meera. "But that's a sadder story."
