BREAKING NEWS: HAVE YOU SEEN THIS PIG-GIRL?
[Well, this is it! Penelope is finally going to leave home and live her own life! She'll be free of her mother and her ridiculous idea that somewhere out there, there was some perfect blue blood man that could stand to look at her long enough to marry her and break the curse on her great-great-great grandfather. Honestly, the only way that was going to happen was if they found a blind man, which isn't to say that Jessica Wilhern and Wanda hadn't tried already. Apparently there an't any blind, blue blooded, single men in the area. Either that, or even they weren't willing to be connected to someone so repulsively monstrous.
No more of that, though. No more being courted by young men through a two-way mirror. No more watching people run away screaming in fear when they saw her nose. Namely because they wouldn't see it anymore, not if Penelope had anything to say about it. She'd spend the rest of her life wearing her scarf around her nose, probably. She actually hasn't really thought too far into the future about it, she just needs to get away, get out there on her own and start her life. She'll go to school and become a horticulturist, whether or not she ever breaks the curse, which Penelope isn't expecting to ever happen. And even if it doesn't, who's to say she does have to hide herself forever? Maybe non-blue bloods are more understanding than blue bloods, who knows?
But the only way she can do any of what she really wants to is to get out from under her mother's rule. Penelope loves her mother, really, but there's only so much pushing that she can take. This last suitor, Max, had just proven to her that it wouldn't matter how many men she met anyway, they would always run away, and it just hurts too much having to watch it. Knowing that they were running from her. From her nose. But no more. Penelope's life is going to be different. And it will all start as soon as she reaches out and opens the gate of the Wilhern Estate to the world outside.
And accidentally runs into someone.]
O-oh, oh! I'm so sorry! Are you okay?
