Hi Kate!

There is an old expression: Every cloud has a silver lining. The lining being the positive and good side of things. I've always heard this line as being about that. This relationship having been so great, just broke through the good stuff.

Make sense?

Thanks for asking!

Answer
Hello again!

I'm sorry I didn't go into it further.

It's not a good thing ~ that's why it's a "Sorta" Fairytale! She thought they were soul mates....a perfect match. But as they drive along, things become clear and she sees that it wasn't what she thought...she's "so sad"...etc., etc.  

:o)

Hope that makes it a little more clear for you. Let me throw in some Tori quotes if I can find some.....yup, here you go:

a sorta fairytale



"I think that there is a place where she realizes that people come in and out of your life, sometimes for one day, sometimes for longer, and all of them make you what you are. You can't separate these people out of you. They form who you are, even the ones that you kind of say, 'Well, you know, I don't know if I wanna be formed by them anymore.' But you are in some way... you are, that's why maybe you don't have to look at them so harshly because they have affected you. At the end, though, you know, it's... us as individuals... with our... hmm... with our love for the land, for something untangible that, when soulmates come and go, you're never alone even when you're standing just you and your shoes, because she carry them with you." [Scarlet Stories]

A Sorta Fairytale finds Scarlet back in LA with a man she has convinced herself is her life's soul mate. "They take the big trip in the classic car up the Pacific Coast highway and across the desert. But as they go on, the masks drop away and they discover the fantasy they have of each other isn't who they really are." They end up back where they started and Scarlet leaves. "They did care. But somehow they lost each other. Which is why it's only A Sorta Fairytale..." [Scarlet's Walk bio]

Thanks for asking Kate!
