"Would you like a hot hors d'oeuvre?" Mal asked before Ben nodded.
"Yes, please. This is the best thing I ever had." Ben said.
"So you like it?"
"I more than like it. I so like it. Beef ragout?" Ben asked before he ate some.
"Yeah."
"This is amazing." Ben said as he looked at the food.
"Did I surprise you?" Mal asked.
"Oh yeah, you surprised me. This is every single dish Mrs. Potts made for my parents. What'd it take you? Three days?" Ben asked before Mal chuckled.
"Don't even ask me." Mal chuckled.
"Yeah. Well, it means a lot that you stopped and did all this for me; especially with all the craziness you've been put through. I missed you. We don't get much time to be just us anymore." Ben said after he held Mal's hand.
"I know."
"You can't take me anywhere, right? Do you have a napkin or something?" Ben asked after Mal wiped his mouth off.
"I do! I packed some. I think I stowed them away. I can grab them." Mal said before Ben pulled the spell book out of the basket.
"What's this?"
"I actually threw that in there super last minute in case it rained or—" Mal started.
"Speed reading spell. Blonde hair spell. Cooking spell. I was giving you props for fitting in so well, for doing your best." Ben said.
"Take back this moment that has passed. Return it—reverse it—?" Mal started before she forgot the spell.
"Are you trying to spell me right now?" Ben asked as he stood up.
"Ben, it has been so hard for me!" Mal said.
"Yes! Some things are hard! Do you think learning to be King and Queen has been easy for me or Bella?" Ben asked.
"No!"
"I thought we were doing this together!" Ben said.
"Ben, we are in this together." Mal said as she stood up.
"—but we're not, Mal. We're not. You've been keeping secrets and lying to me. I thought we were done with that. This isn't the Isle of the Lost, Mal." Ben said.
