Belle felt Gaston's hand on her shoulder.
She knew he'd followed her from the tavern and she couldn't escape the reality of his unfaithfulness. She how everything, up to this point, showed how he'd been hurting her throughout their entire marriage! From the eve of the wedding to this moment where she was carrying their child! How happy she'd been... only to learn he'd done more to hurt her than simply return home and act finely to her!
"Wait!" He said and his hand was gently touching her arm.
Belle swallowed but didn't look at her husband. Perhaps if Papa hadn't passed away she wouldn't be in this situation. 5 months along with their baby and she wondered how she would learn to trust a man who betrayed her. Especially in marriage of all places: her own husband betrayed her!
She felt how their baby was stilled within her... as if they were listening to the conversation between mama and papa... it was evening and Belle felt how Gaston kept his hand on her arm. She remembered him in the tavern... with all the others... men and women... how dare he?
"Are... you going back?" He asked after a moment's pause.
Belle inwardly rolled her eyes as she answered. "Yes... Harriet should be preparing super soon..."
"The tavern will be closing and LeFou and the others are..." But he cut himself off when Belle simply took a step forward as she answered.
"Gaston? I can't believe you're unfaithfulness to me has caused a dent in our relationship." She didn't even look back when she softly finished.
"I no longer trust you."
Then she walked forward and didn't look back as sounds of thunder echoed in the distance.
