Belle nodded quietly at Erik's words. They seemed to understand each other much better at night. Maybe it was the fact that he looked less intimidating.

Sitting on the bed, Belle stretched her arms and pulled some hair away from her face. She seemed well rested and relaxed after the tension of the day before. "Good morning, Erik", she greeted kindly. "Do you feel better?"
