Begins “Getting into Character”

Isabella felt a small pressure lift on her thoughts. As though she was relaxing for the first time in her life. She twirled in her new dress and let her fingers stroke her body. She thought back to what she was doing there at the park. It was kind of a blur, but she was supposed to be Belle for the day... or was she always Belle. No it was just pretend.

She looked at her reflection and said, “Bonjour!” with a smile.

She picked up her book from where she remembered she left it and was going to take it back to the bookshop she borrowed it from... that Belle borrowed from in the movie. She left the house and headed for town square.
