     Belle swallowed thickly as a familiar burning touched her nostrils. “I said...I think I love you,” she repeated, her hands clasping together in front of her because she needed something to hold onto. “But I’m wrong,” she said, shaking her head. “I don’t think I love you...I know that I love you,” she said, feeling like her words were coming out as a vomit she couldn’t control. She had always been attracted to Gaston but ever since the night she escaped from The Beast, there had been something more growing between them.

     “The night you found me, when I saw you...” she lead on, implying when she saw him at his most vulnerable. “I saw the real person in you, someone who isn’t so put together all the time, someone with real feelings. And ever since then I kept catching glimpses of that man in you, sometimes it was the way you smiled at me or the look in your eyes. But I would see it, every day, a little at a time. And the longer it went on, the more it hurt,” she admitted. “It hurts even now. Because I know you’ll tire of me without a chase, and that’s why I spent so long not telling you how I felt,” she admitted.

Alice had left her home to fetch a pail of water, and perhaps stop by the library if she was lucky enough. It was a rare day that she wasn’t working. So she planned to find a comfortable place to sit, and read for an hour or two. However, she needed to fetch some clean water before she did. Once her trip to the library was completed, and the water taken back to her home, she decided to sit in a place with plenty of sunlight.

Allison’s father was making another speech to the country, and once again she was stuck standing there trying to show her support. She didn’t want to be royal, instead she wanted a normal life. It’ll never happen though, whenever she tried to go out she was always followed by security guards. No matter who she talked they were always right there making sure the other wasn’t going to harm her. It drove her nuts, but she had to admit the newest security guard was very cute. During the speech her blue eyes followed off to the side as she looked at the male. Normally the guards weren’t so attractive to her, but this one was and she couldn’t help but to daydream of the two of them kissing. 

Soon all the clapping brought her back to reality, and that was when she realized she was staring at this specific guard for a little too long. A blush crept up on her cheeks before looking away and clapping along with the others, praying that he didn’t notice her staring. Her father then walked back through the double doors of the palace and Isabella followed behind. “I am going to go for a walk out to the rose garden.” She announced, and her father asked the new guard to go out to the garden to keep watch on his daughter. Isabella sighed, though she didn’t mind much that it was that specific guard. 

   Of course he hadn’t been the least bit impressed. Being a girl her age in the tavern should've been enough to turn his head, but the war hero had been oblivious. And when she’d taken on a group of half-drunks in dartz and nearly won, he probably didn’t even hearnotice. Against her mother’s wishes, Colette had been tryinging to gain Gaston’s attention, so hshe’d have a chance to spak to him, to finally attempt to bring her father into her life.

  ‘Leave him be.” Paulette’s words to her daughter ring in her mind as she stands just close enough to be heard, speaking loudly {to no one in particular} in hopes the man will hear her and....perhaps want to talk further. 

She sighed softly, his presence was nearly palpable whenever he was near. Maybe because the whole room was sucked into silence, maybe because there was a hum in her ears whenever she knew he was leaning close. Shifting in her seat, she looked up at him, shaking her head, but offering him the smallest of smiles irregardless.
