Belle saw the greeting etched into Flip's face. "Hello. My name is Belle... I suppose you would say I was a wanderer. I come from Brazil... I was sold to a slaughter house, but escaped from the truck. Sorry, I'm just thrilled to find someone," Belle ducked her head.
Flip smiled. "Well, hello, Belle," he greeted her. "We have a Bella here, but no Belle yet. You've found the right place. This area is filled with herds."
Belle smiled, relieved. She looked like a huge weight had been lifted off of her back. "Thank you, Flip," Belle gave a small, respectful bow before walking away. She knew she had just given the impression that she was careless and childish, but she needed Flip to know that she could be serious.
