"I did," William replied and he returned Wendy's hug. He was surprised that after meeting Belle, his feelings for Wendy hadn't changed. It meant that the straightforward girl had managed to worm herself inside William's heart and the latter had also recognized her as his lover candidate.

His gaze then landed on Ian and remembered Belle's warning about him.
"What are you looking at?" Ian asked. "You look creepy."
"Yep. It's impossible for this snot nosed pansy to be a girl," William muttered as he averted his gaze. 'Belle's intuition was wrong.'
