That's part that I wanted to focus on from the onset, how I could give every main character that Happily Ever After and yet pull it off so that it made some sort of sense... if it were a longer version, I would have put in some small kernels that showed some lightening up of the hostility by the Step-Sisters, but I was really pushing to stay within the old Fairy Tale style.
The only reason I even put the direct quotes there at the end was because I felt it would give more impact to the changes-of-heart. It made it more personal coming from the characters. Outside of that I think I did pretty well at confining it w/in the Grimms-ish Fairy Tale framework.
