Dear Rumple,
yesterday I was in your store and today I stole myself into Regina's house. No, I have no guilt. She has done to me much more and robbed some years of my life, so she'll have to live with the loss of some personal things, especially she doesn't need them at the moment. I've really only taken what was possibly important to me. There were not many things, but I found a little thick book full of spells. I don't know if it could help me, but now it's in my possession.
Maybe it's better that way, at least, all the books which have something to do with magic are in my care. Strangers, who could somehow manage to come to Storybrooke again, don't encounter them so quickly. Because of course I've done the books out of your house and taken them to my apartment and depending on what I need, I will take these books to our home.
I also have brought Henry's book from the apartment of the Charmings and this was for the same reason as the other books from you and Regina.
Otherwise, I have convened a meeting in a small group for tomorrow. Granny, Ruby, Mother Superior, Anton, the seven Dwarfs, Sean and my father will be there. I want to talk with them again about the safety of Storybrooke. Even if the protection spell work, the question arises how long it will holds and whether anyone can break through it. Before you left you told me that Tamara and Greg work for "The Home Office" and even just before your departure you meant that others could follow. So I have to assume that the two always had contact with this "Home Office". Thus, these people know about all of us, except perhaps myself, because the two knew me only as Lacey or at least as "normal" person. Let's see what the others will say and how to proceed further.
My daily routine looks currently like this: getting up, eating breakfast, going to the office to work until noon, lunch, working in the library, shopping (while talking with the other inhabitants), dinner, reading, writing you letters, sleeping and between I'm thinking a lot of you.
I'm sorry that I wrote not so much today. The last few days have been extremely stressful. But now I have a mission and a goal in front of my eyes and that makes me even stronger.
I still love you and miss you terribly!
Your Belle
A/N: Thank you again, Grace, for letting me know, what you think about this story. It means a lot to me. Also thank you to all others, who gave me reviews and followed my story. Well, I think there will be a new letter from Rumple tomorrow. Let's see how's he doing. Have fun. :)
