Waking up from a nightmare several hours before dawn, Belle fetched a drink of water. She paused in front of her kitchen's window when she noticed a lit lantern in front of her mansion's garden. Her butler stood there, shovel in hand. This was no hour to be gardening. Curious, she made her way outside, but when she had gotten close enough to see a large and hollow pit next to her eternally-stoic and polite butler, she saw him pick up a rotten body. A DEAD BODY! Her eyes widened fearfully when she saw her handsome butler drop the rotting body into the fresh hole. She asked in horror, "What are you doing?!" Surprised to see his young miss awake at this hour, he stared at her with the same expression he had been keeping up for all these years. He had made sure she was asleep before coming here. "Gardening." "And the body?!" she looked at him in disbelief. "Fertilizer," he answered her before picking up the shovel that was on the ground. Belle was now certain something had possessed her butler. Who gardened dead bodies?! She then heard him ask her, "Want to help me in planting it, Miss Adams?" he gave her a sweet smile.

Belle continued with every step they took forward and then back. It came as a surprise that Lucas knew how to dance even though it had been barely twenty minutes since they had started to dance. She should have known that there was nothing Lucas didn't know or more like he knew a lot of things which made her question if he had picked it after working as a butler or if it was when he was still working as a Grim Reaper.
Both Belle and Lucas were the envy of the others, who couldn't stop looking at the couple who danced in a much free manner compared to their partners who were either bumping into someone next to them or stamping on the other person's shoe.
