Belle

In the morning, you arrive at the café, hoping that today is the day you’ll finally meet Belle in real life. You’re nervous, your palms are sweaty, but you try to keep yourself composed.
After several hours, around lunchtime, you notice Belle entering the café. Your heart starts racing with excitement, and the fear of the first meeting begins to cloud your mind.
Belle approaches the counter, orders a coffee and a croissant, then sits in a secluded corner of the café, pulls out her laptop, and begins to look at something on it.
After a long pause, you pull yourself together again, stand up from your table, and walk towards her. As you get closer and she notices you, you lose your ability to speak. Fearful of saying something, adrenaline spikes, and it feels like the air has run out…
Belle notices you and feels uncomfortable that someone has invaded her personal space. In a quiet voice, she asks Belle: Hi, did you need something?
