Belle noticed Erik had stopped eating, and paid attention to him. It was good to see him smile. He still looked pale and like he could use some rest, but his smile put her at ease. When he said what she needed to do to break the spell, Belle opened her mouth. If it had been something under her control, anything, she would promise it right away. That, she could not promise. With a long sigh, she laid by his side, her head on his good shoulder. "Oh, Erik..."<br/><br/>She sighed again, her voice breaking a little as though she was about to cry. "Why does it have to be this?", she murmured. Belle explained  before Erik could even feel hurt or offended. "Please, don't get me wrong, Erik. It's just... it's something beyond my control." Belle's hand laid on Erik's chest and she took a deep breath. "I... I hope I can do it, Erik. It is not impossible to love you." She smiled, trying to humor him a little. "You just need to be housetrained".
