You were beautiful. I knew you didn’t need me. Wish me luck! My happily-ever-after is on the horizon.

I stared at it, reading it over and over, my mind crawling. It wasn’t signed, but I knew exactly who’d written it. She’d been here! Had she been in the audience, hidden in plain sight? If I’d looked out into the crowd, my sensors surely would have picked up the presence of an animatron, but I hadn’t apart from that initial glance. I hadn’t wanted to break character. How could nobody in the crowd have noticed that the real Cinderella was standing just feet away from them?!

“What is it, Madeline?” Gilbert asked. I handed him the note without a word.

He read it in less than a second. “What does this mean? She was here all along?”

“She must have been.”

“But where is she now?”

“I’m afraid to find out. I think… I think she’s leaving, Gilbert.”

He stared at me, aghast. “But she can’t just leave! Our power source is in the park! She’ll—”

“I know.” It kept replaying over and over in my mind, Cinderella with the dark-haired stranger. What had he told her that made her think this was a viable option? “We have to stop her before she leaves the park.”

“It’s closing in ten minutes. If she sneaks out with the crowd, we’ll never be able to stop her without being seen ourselves.”

“Maybe we could disguise ourselves,” I said thoughtfully.

“What?”

I looked up at Gilbert. “Like how we did just now. The audience had no idea I wasn’t really Cinderella. And Cindy was apparently in the audience the whole time and nobody noticed her. We look just like humans, Gil, apart from our eyes. If we don’t make eye contact with anyone, they might not notice us. Just for a few minutes—just so we can stop her.”

He nodded. “We can access the staff room from the service tunnels. There’re plenty of employee uniforms in there. We can dress as employees and monitor the biological signals of everyone leaving.”

He jumped over the cordon and I hurried after him. There was no time to wait for Mr. Tinker, wherever he might be. We’d have to save Cinderella ourselves.
