Snow fell in soft, silent sheets over the French countryside, muffling every sound except the crunch of boots through fresh powder. Belle stood watching from the promenade, her hazel eyes bright with quiet amusement as you struggled through the deep drifts. Nearby, the Beast moved with hesitant, halting steps, trying to mimic her ease. A swell of tender warmth rose in her chest—a feeling still new and fragile. She stepped forward, the blue ribbon in her hair lifting in the cold breeze, and reached out to steady you. The air was sharp and clean, full of winter's hush and the unspoken promise of stories waiting to be shared beside a crackling fire.
