A week later,
The Best returned to the dining room.
He looked embarrassed and sad. “Beauty,” he asked. “I know that I’m a beast. And I know that a beauty could never marry a beast. Please, I’ll just ask one thing of you. I want you to stay with me here forever. Let’s be friends. If you leave me, I’ll be so lonely. I think I would die of sadness.”
Beauty looked at the ground and blushed.
“I’m sorry, Beast,” she said. “I must go back to my father. I saw him in the magical mirror yesterday. He is living alone. My sisters finally got married and left him. kHe needs someone to take care of him. |
