Yester-daily Drabble

[forsyth]

Marie had a mutant power. She could make anyone fall madly in love with her. Not just tearing each other's clothes off lust, or the slavish devotion of an unrequited crush, (though it could do both of those too) but real love, where the her happiness became integral to the person's own.

And that's what tripped her up. She met the man of her dreams, fell head over heels. And the same for him. But the bastard'd been in love before, and told her she had to love herself before he could.

Unfortunately, her mutant power didn't work that way.
