264 In your arms- Part 2

After Simon left the mansion, Lucas provided Belle with his company, "How is your leg?" he asked her. 

"It is doing better. I can walk without flinching," she replied to him.

"Your body must be healing faster than before," Lucas responded to her, "It was slower when you were young but your soul that is in your body, it is healing the body, trying to take the entire space of the vessel which is good." 

They were sitting on the couch, with his back against the side of the couch and Belle sitting with her back leaning against him with her leg outstretched. Somewhere she was shy of what the maids would tell because of the way they were seated, and it wasn't even night that no one would interrupt them. Even the clouds were back that were of different shades of grey. It was the time of noon where they spent their time together now.
