She used to think of roses as red. A thorn as a spike. One day she met a beast with a soul tied to that plant. She was his slave. Kind of. She made a trade, her for her sick dad. 
 
 They ate the late meal together, she and Beast. The other time was her own. Each day was long, each day a month. She did not know until he let her leave in snow when it had been hot not so long ago. Ge let her leave and go home. He let her leave to be happy. 
 
 She found out about his issue, the soul rose, after. It was why she went back. No one need die to a soul rose when all they need is love. A dead Beast did not bring her joy. 
 
 She had love to spare. And now a King and not a Beast. 
 
 But no roses.
