Word Count: 100.


Lumiere wags the borrowed feather duster and cocks his hip. Babette raises her pilfered library book to hide her flushing cheeks. Were this anywhere else, he might just take the feather duster to her bare calves and thighs. A giggle, gasp, or shriek might just bring someone running, though and he cannot have that.

"I prefer beginning quiet," he says. "You certainly know how to pick a place, chérie."

Babette presses her toes into the cool stone floor. Lumiere clicks his tongue, drops his arm, drags the feather duster along the floor. She covers her face and raises her feet.
