The past few weeks had been the busiest and most eventful she'd ever experienced. Between the final argument with her father, the trip to the courthouse, and then the spur of the moment relocation to Storybrooke, Maine - Belle was beginning to feel the new beginning and fresh start that her and Robert had gone looking for. Everytime she caught a glimpse of the ring, perched comfortably on her left hand, she felt that rush of excitement and bubbly feeling all over again.
The plan hadn't been to run off and get married. Her and Robert had been together for a while, to the disappointment of her father who had made it his mission to change her mind. It wasn't just her mind the man had been going against, it was her heart as well. She'd played along and tried keeping things amicable when the topic of her relationship was discussed but this last time it had gotten out of hand. There was yelling, her slamming the door, and her showing up at Robert's. In the aftermath, as usual, she found herself cuddled against him on the couch and after a comment about what her father had said that very evening - "... he'll never earn my approval ..." - the idea emerged.
They didn't need his approval.
So they packed up and left.
Placing the box that was in her arms down atop another one, she paused and looked around at the room that had been completely empty when they arrived. Now, there were boxes stacked strategically according to where they belonged. Turning to head back outside, she stopped in the doorway at the sight of her new husband - a fact that she was still awed by everytime the thought crossed her mind.
"You haven't taken even a small break from unloading the truck. It's not a race, honey." She called from her spot in the doorway, an amused smile on her face. She knew he wanted to get everything settled as soon as possible and that he'd overexert himself if she didn't stop him.
