(OOC last week of April this verse is getting an update. You will be able to see how Belle and Gold are getting on)

Belle: So am I still your favorite customer?

Gold: Always *shrugs* work is work, there’s not really much to say. *whispers* knowing I’ll see Belle does make the days easier, it’s something to look forward to and happiness breeds happiness. I am finding I’m more relaxed because of it but don’t tell her that.

Belle: Don’t tell me what?

Gold: That David is still teasing me about our first kiss.

Belle: *blushes* I’m sorry

Gold: *smiles softly at her* Why? I’m not.
