“He has to or the fairy tale will be quite offset.”

“I hate an offset fairy tale.”

“Don’t we all? Fortunately, we have a secret weapon.”

Charlotte’s eyes brightened. “We do?” She waited. When the silence merely grew, she sighed. “You’re not going to tell me what it is.”

“In due time, Charlotte. In due time.”

Charlotte reached to remove her book from where she’d tucked it away and began to search for her place. “Fine. Whatever your weapon might be, I can only hope it will tame our Beast before Beauty arrives.”

“So do I, Charlotte. So do I.”
