One night, after many weeks had
passed, Beauty had a dream. In it,
she saw her father. He was sick with
worry at what the Beast might be
doing to her.
Dear Beast, please
may I go to my father?
He needs me. I promise I
will return after one
week.
Very well. But do
not forget your promise. I
cannot live without you. If
you do not return, I will
surely die of grief.
Take this ring, and
put it on when you
wish to return.
