She was winning! She had the poor sod on his knees, one more tongue lashing and this nemesis would be vanquished! Only... he really wasn't her enemy at all, but in truth, her most beloved. This raging battle had so swiftly mushroomed from such an innocuous start your head would spin (like a top).
A passing observation fueling outright war, but he valiantly waved the white flag of surrender. Suddenly victory was not so sweet to her, thus with sword drawn and poised at his throat, she called a truce, and confessed, "forgive me, my darling, I was wrong." Pardoned she was, and peace ensued. One lovable turncoat, she traded in her uniform to became a cowgirl instead (like on top).
Admitting your mistakes is a strength, not a weakness.
