Elizabeth's mother was fond of fairy tales, and she'd had high hopes that a prince (well, maybe not a real prince, but one could always hope) would sweep her beautiful daughter off her feet, and give her everything she ever wanted -- instead, Elizabeth ended up with Peter Burke, and it took a while to understand that while he may not have the graces of a prince (looks, charm, money), he had the heart of a fairy tale hero.
