"Rumpel no." She shakes her head. "It doesn't matter what I was trying to do because I never should have forced you to--" She bites back the quiver of her voice. "To do what you didn't want to."

"Surprise." She tries to smile but it's only half there. "We did elope from my point in time." She curls her hand into his.

Now she's just rambling to cover up for it. "I can tell people I'm Belle French here. I'm just happy to be with you."
