Library, Thursday 4/23

[noonedecidesmyfate]

Belle was in a more revealing dress than the library usually rated. But you never knew who might wander in. She might need to impress someone!

Perhaps someone mysterious!
Or someone from her past!
Or a disguised god!
Or a pirate captain with a heart of gold!

Or she might be alone with her novels and that would be fine, really.

She was meant to be shelving romance novels. She was mostly making a stack of books she wanted to read later. There were so many and she was learning so many things while she read the week away. Alone.

But again, anyone could walk through the doors at any moment! Perhaps the librarian might even come out of his office and...

And Belle suddenly needed some water.

"What's the matter Caleb, you don't think I can protect you?"

His smile became a bit sad, a touch of caution entering his gaze. But he stepped just a bit closer himself.

"That's...not an easy answer just now." he admitted. "I've had the word adventure redefined for me a few times. But I confess I been feelin' a bit adventurous lately."

Oh no, he was handsome and mysterious! Belle was doomed.

"I was hoping I might find a companion for my own adventures today," Belle told him. "Perhaps we could adventure together? I've no plans after I leave here."

And she could leave here anytime. What, like Constantine was going to be upset if she left to pursue extracurricular activities?

"I think I'd like that very much Miss Belle." he said, all other notions for the day fleeing his mind. "Thank you. Lead the way? Uhm, when, when you're done here o' course."

"I hope we'll both like it very much, Caleb."

Belle looked around the library, nodded to herself, and smiled slowly. "I think I can be done here now. The books will keep. Though perhaps this one ought to come with us. For...inspiration."

They might not need any but there were some quite exciting passages Belle would be thrilled to reenact given the opportunity.

She grabbed the book in one hand and reached for Caleb with the other.

"Although if we're about to embark on an adventure perhaps...a kiss for luck?" A warm up. Not that either of them likely needed any further warming at this point in the week.
