“Yes, sort of.” She replied to his first question. The him she mentioned before, would definitely worry. He loved her as much as she loved him. She wondered, now that he was brought up, if he had discovered she was missing. She couldn’t be too sure on how long she had been gone. “Yes he will be very worried when he finds out. He’ll come looking for me. I don’t know if he’ll find me though...this place is like nothing we have at home so it must be quite far.”

What if she could never get back to him? She didn’t even know how she got here exactly. And she had been very happy at home. She didn’t want to leave there. She hoped no one thought she ran away. That would be ridiculous though. She would never do something like that. But she could hope that maybe someone from home would find their way here. It was something to hold on to.

“But I suppose if I made it here someone from home might too.” She adds with a smile. Belle tried to stay positive. It’s what her favorite characters would have done. And he had already looked upset about something. She didn’t want him to worry over her too.
