Prologue
Dying is never something someone 22 really anticipates. I've never thought about the possibility as something more than a "what if?" that was quickly dismissed. It definitely was not on my mind the morning of June 16, 2010.
The sun shone through the window of my new house, something I never had to anticipate in my old apartment. My old bedroom face the west, where as my new one, faced the east. But this minor setback would never put a damper in my love of the house. I could live in a shed in the desert, and as long as Edward was there, I would be happy.
As if he read my thoughts, Edwards entered the room.
"Good morning, Mrs. Cullen," he said with a smile on his face, "I don't think I will ever get tired of calling you that."
"Well then, husband, it's a good thing that I will never get tired of hearing it."
He came over to our new bed, and gave me a soft kiss. His soft lips had always made me weak in the knees, and I was glad to know that they still did. His lips touched mine softly, and he began to pull back. I felt my lips begin to turn downward, and as soon as he noticed, he chuckled and placed them back where they belonged. His tongue caressed the outline of my bottom lip, before begging for entry - which I gladly allowed.
"Mm, I could spend all day kissing you," I whispered.
His chuckle filled the room, and made my heart flutter. Now there was something I would never get tired of hearing.
"And I wish we could too, my love. But, unfortunately, my lovely sister - and your official sister in law - would kill me if I didn't let her steal you to go shopping for our late honeymoon," he said with a sigh.
Agh, Alice. I loved her dearly, she had been my best friend since we were five. I spent every waking minute with her during my teens, and if it wasn't for her, I would have never been granted the amazing opportunity to marry Edward Cullen.
Despite all of this, I couldn't help but be a little annoyed by her obsession with shopping, when all I wanted to do was enjoy staying in bed with my gorgeous husband.
I found myself mimicking the sigh that Edward had just let escape.
"Can't she just go without me? It's not like I'm going to have much input anyways," I sulked.
Edward smiled my favourite crooked smile, shook his head, and left me to get dressed. Argggh, fine. I would go, and I would rush through it. Then I could come home, make love to my gorgeous husband, and fly off to my super secret honeymoon spot.
That thought alone would get me through the day. I quickly through on a pair of tights and a floral printed dress. I figured that if Alice didn't have to spend 20 minutes yelling at me for wearing a pair of old jeans and tee, it would give me more time to get back to Edward, and that was something I would sacrifice comfort for.
Finding the appropriate footwear was something that was not quite as compromisable. I knew Alice wouldn't be happy if I paired my outfit with a pair of sneakers, but I definitely didn't trust myself in heels. Think of Edward, Think of Edward, I kept thinking, and finally gave in. Grabbing the first pair of high heels out of our unpacked boxes, I contemplated if they would be a good choice. The four inch stilettos would please Alice, but my balance would displease me. Think of Edward, UGH. Fine. I through them on, strapped them up, and said my goodbyes to my husband.
It wasn't until I was on my way to the subway that I realized, I should have trusted my instincts. If I would have stuck with the sneakers, old jeans, and tee, maybe I wouldn't have died that morning.
