Chapter 29

× back story ×

Beauty and Nicholas met at their usual hiding spot inside the woods where a small cave could be found and inside, waiting was Beauty.

As Nicholas entered the cave where Beauty was waiting, he received a smile from Beauty with the greeting, "Welcome home, sweetie."

"I'm home, honey," he said, then crawled until he got inside and sat next to Beauty. "How are you?"

"I'm good," Beauty responded then showed her picnic basket full of food prepared by herself. "You better try my homemade salad and sandwich. I'm sure you'd love it!"

Nicholas looked inside the basket and looked back at Beauty. "But not as much as I love you." he said then winked.

"Shut up, Cole," she responded but deep inside, she's feeling giddy and almost wanted to squeal. "Just eat, alright?"
