Ben looked at Nicole thoughtfully. Yes, she was pretty. His only issue with her had been her clingy attitude which he had found annoying in his discomfort, and as Joan and Drake had rightly pointed out, the only reason he had been annoyed was because he was an exhausted guy who had wanted nothing more than to be left alone so he could get out of the uncomfortable clothes.
If Bella had been the one here, he would have been grateful that there was someone so friendly to keep her company. In other words, Nicole wasn't bad. She seemed like a nice girl, and he had hurt her feelings.
"She is pretty and seems to be really nice. I'm sure if he gets to know her, he might be interested in her," Ben said, and the Queen's eyes lit up.
"That's lovely! You will join me in matchmaking them, won't you?" The Queen asked Ben, and he smiled awkwardly.
"Yes, your majesty," He said and received a smile of approval from both the King and Queen.
