"Sh-sugarlumps!"
He caught himself just in time, but still earned a side-eye from the little boy by his side.
"What, Emmett?"
"You said a bad word!"
"I didn't," he mumbled unconvincingly, well aware that his cousin knew what he was about to say.
"Only just," the boy laughed.
Shrugging his shoulders, he kept walking down the dark street, towards the one house that had a light on.
She's not home, he told himself, she told Alice she would be down at the res.
Emmett was watching as Edward's steps slowed the closer they were to the house and wondered why. He looked up to his cousin and wished he could make him smile, but nothing seemed appropriate.
"Em, do you want to run ahead and ring the bell?" Edward asked, secretly planning to wait at the gate.
"No, you have to come with me!"
The kid was up to something, Edward realised too late as they were already at the door and the sound of the doorbell echoed from inside the small white house.
"Trick or treat!" Emmett shouted when the door opened.
Oh, definitely treat, a voice inside Edward's head said longingly as he looked at Bella who opened the door in a costume so tiny that the big bowl of sugary treats in her hands almost blocked it from his view.
