Breakfast Time - Dining Room
When Beckett entered the dining room, he knew the attention would be on him. He was the reason they were all there, which in itself was terrifying. He had no idea what he was doing, or if any of the 34 girls in that room would actually like him. One of the girls had already asked to meet him early that morning to tell him that this wasn’t right for her. The last thing he wanted was to make someone feel like they were being forced into something they didn’t want, so he let her go home, but it only added to the worry that maybe none of the girls would want him. This wasn’t just about him finding a bride, or a future queen. He wanted love like his parents had, he wanted to meet the girl he would always want by his side, who would help push him to be better than he thought possible. However things went, his life was about to change forever, and all he could hope was that it would be for the better.
He walked past the tables where the girls were all seated to the head table where his family was to first give his mother a light hug, knowing this was an emotional time for her, bringing back memories of when she first met Beckett’s father. “What took so long?” Rosalie whispered.
“I stopped to talk to one of the girls on my way here. Don’t worry about it.” Beckett responded, admitting that he had talked with Sanura before making sure the next room over was ready. He was officially meeting the girls that day so it wouldn’t be a big deal. Not like how he couldn’t admit to his sister about the unexpected meeting the night before, that Rosalie certainly wouldn’t approve of.
There was no more delaying things, it was time to talk to the girls. They were mid-breakfast, though he had yet to stop and eat. He took a second, clearing his throat before addressing the room. “Hello everyone. I hope you all were able to settle in well and enjoyed your first night here.” He paused, taking a nervous breath. “Sorry, this is all new to me as well, so none of you are the only one nervous about all of this. I just want to say that I can’t wait to get to know each of you. This is just the first step of what I hope is going to be pretty great. Anyway, please keep enjoying your breakfast, I just want to take this opportunity to start getting to know each of you privately, then you can spend the day as you please. And thank you all for being here.”
