Jasmine straightened her dress as she stood before the front door of the restaurant where she would be meeting her hero, her inspiration, who came to her from 500 years in the past. She took a couple of deep breaths before pushing open the restaurant doors.

'Hello', she said as she walked over to the waitress. 'I have a reservation.'

'Yes, of course your majesty', the waitress replied shyly as she took a couple of steps backwards. 'This way please.'

Jasmine followed her over to a table where her star was already seated, Catherine 'de Medici, the black queen of France in the 1500's.

'Your majesty', Jasmine said with a smile as she fell into a bow. 'It's so nice to have you here.'

'Thank you', Catherine replied as Jasmine got up and got seated. 'Now then, I came as you asked for some advice, correct?'

'Yes, thank you for meeting me.'

Jasmine smiled and crossed her legs as she looked at the older woman in front of her. Something made her feel special and in that moment everything felt perfect, because Catherine had been her inspiration for years and would be in the years to come.
