"Oh, come on, this is going to be fun!"
Adam sighed aloud as he studied the billboard outside the shop in the Town's Mall. It was opening day and people were milling about out of curiosity, but not many were buying anything from the service.
"You said I could choose what we do for my birthday." Belle nudged her husband's side and lifted her chin with a pout.
"You're right, I'm sorry." Adam put an arm around Belle's shoulders and pointed to the board. "So what did you have in mind, ma belle?"
"Oh, um..." Belle scanned the pictures with increasing excitement and then jumped to one with a squirming gesture. "There, look! It's Beauty and the Beast, baroque style!"
"Who would have guessed." Adam snorted in amusement.
"Why, it's my favorite story!"
"I know, and happy birthday, my love. Come on, let's go."
"Oh, thank you mon cheri, thank you a million." Belle tiptoed over and cupped Adam's face, planting lots of little kisses on his face.
"All right, all right," he laughed, "just tell me, who are you going to dress up as, the beauty or the beast?"
"Oh, you!" Belle shook her head, then giggled and grabbed Adam's hand, pulling him into the shop called "Nostalgia Photography".
