I dragged myself up out of bed and into my shower. I turned on the hot water, letting it run over me, soothing and calming me. I washed my hair and my body and then stepped out of the shower, exposing my wet skin to the cold air. I grabbed my towel and quickly wrapped it around me. I walked back to my room and opened my closet, getting out my clothes for work. It was a simple outfit, but then again, everything I wore now was simple. I used to care about how I looked, but not any more. Not since it happened.

I pulled on my underclothes and then my white tank top. On top of that, I put on my simple black sweater and then I pulled on my black pants. I grabbed my shoes, my car keys, and my black bag. Then I ran out into the rain to my car.

I got to Casey's Bridal Gowns (the place that I work), in ten minutes. I pulled up, got out, and ran to the front door. I unlocked the building and turned on all the lights. Then I set out dress catalogs and I started the coffee maker. Finally, I went to the bag room and sat, waiting for the first customer to arrive.

Thirty-two minutes and two cups of coffee later, I heard the door open. I slowly got out and started walking up out of the room. Then I heard voices.

"Hello, Is any body here?" A bell like voice asked. It sounded like a girl's voice.

"Alice, calm down. Give the person a minute to come out." This was a different voice. A much different voice. It was deep and velvety, almost musical. It defiantly belonged to a man. It also sounded familiar.

"Yeah Alice. Listen to him." This was a girl's voice, but not the same as before. It sounded snotty and childish.

"I was just getting their attention. Jeesh, since when is that a crime Edward." The girl named Alice said, defending herself.

At the sound of that name, I stopped walking. Edward? I hadn't heard that name for a while. Could it be him? I hoped not.

Be reasonable. I told my self. Lots of other people are named Edward, though I can't seem to think of any right now.

I moved my feet once again and walked out to the main room. Three people were in front of me. There was a small female with short black hair and blue eyes. She wore a very pretty blue and white flowered top. Then there was another girl, taller that the other, with shoulder length brown hair. She had her arm linked around the man's arm. The man who looked dreadfully familiar with his bronze hair and emerald green eyes.

Oh. My. Gosh. It's him. It's the same bronze hair and green eyes. The same melodious voice. It's Edward. Ohmygosh… what am I going to do? He can't see me, not now, not ever. I quickly dropped my head to stare at the black and white tiled flooring.

"Hello, welcome to Casey's Bridal Gowns. How may I help you?" I asked. I had to tell them my name, but I didn't want them to know who I was. I thought quickly. "I'm Veronica and I'm here to help."

"Hello Veronica," said Alice. "I'm Alice, she's Hannah, and he's my brother, Edward. We are looking for dresses for Hannah and me." I looked up at Alice, but only Alice. I didn't let my gaze fall on Hannah or … Edward.

"Come right this way." I said. "Would you like … Edward to come too?" Say no, say no, say no! I hoped they didn't notice my pause.

"In traditional weddings, the groo-" Alice was cut off.

"Yes, of course!" Hannah exclaimed. I turned and started walking towards the dress room. They all followed me and started Oooooing and Ahhhhhing over the dresses. Edward stayed quiet.

"So, why don't you pick out your five favorite dresses and then you can both try them on." I suggested. Both Hannah and Alice smiled and started to walk off through the dresses. I was alone, with Edward. Oh, joy. I looked over to him and saw him staring at me and turned back quickly, blushing furiously.

"Do I know you?" He asked, flawlessly.

"No, sorry." I said quickly.
