Beauty And the Beast (2012)
“It has been two days since my dates, but their faces keep floating before my eyes, no matter how hard I squeeze them shut.
The first girl screamed and began pounding at the door the very second Godfrey escorted her into the drawing room. I tried to remain calm, and held off tugging at the waistcoat Mother made me wear even though it dug into my ribs relentlessly. Still, the girl would not even stay for tea and cookies, which I offered up in my most charming manner, having been coached by Mother... for hours prior.
The second girl could hardly be called a girl at all. Truly, she was closer to Mother’s age than my own. One eye was crossed, and the other floated around like a billiard ball. It took me a moment to find my voice, and by the time I did, she had emptied the tray of cookies into the large satchel across her shoulder and darted from the room.
And my third date? Well, I will never know because she never showed up. Now Godfrey and Alexander have set off to find girls outside of our kingdom.MoreLess
