Frank and Elise
Dear Elise:
I finally got to see Beauty and the Beast. You were right, I loved it. I know that it appealed to the little girl in you. I always loved that little girl, as much as I loved her older sister.
I don’t know who was your beast but you were always my beauty.
Love,
Frank
PS: I know the main reason you loved the movie was that they lived:
Ghost Dog 
We all want happily ever afters.

Aww, Benn this is very nice of you to write this about the young woman you have seen grow up. To accept her and care about her must be nice to have you on her side!
I think we all imagine our “goodness” may somehow transform someone. I have found if someone is broken in spirit, they “may” never change or become who you were imagining they could be.
It’s possible, but not probable.
So, the beast has to be already gentle and good inside, but hopefully this fairy tale doesn’t become misunderstood particularly by young, innocent women or male “dreamers.”

Oh, I’m glad to have been able to get across my late night ponderings to you, Benn. Hopefully, somewhat coherent. š
