Belle Adams' Butler
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.

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.
