Bella And the Beast
“She had spent most of the day in the drawing room, moving artifacts here and there while accomplishing next to nothing in her distracted state. She’d continued the pretense of work until it seemed the walls were closing in on her and a change of scene became crucial to her sanity.

Bella hesitated by the open door. She didn’t recognize the humming. Surely it had to be William Banbury-Davis. But … what if it was Miles? Did he ever hum while he worked?
