"But Alice, I don't think"-
"Oh please Bella! You'll look beautiful. I promise", she said interrupting me.
"Ugh, fine. I give up. Dress me up. How bad could it be?", I said frustrated.
""How bad could it be"? You're hurting your sister's feelings here", Alice said
"I'm sorry Alice, I'm just not in the mood for parties today. Especially without Edward".
So, Edward has been in this special hunting trip with Garret for about a week now. As Kate's partner now, he wanted to make sure he dominated our vegetarian life style. He asked Edward if he could help him. Edward didn't want to say no, he admired Garret for his determination and really wanted to help him, but he didn't want to leave Nessie and me. So I put on a brave face and told him to go. That it was okay. I really hated seeing Garret struggling, and he and Edward had been getting along really well since the Voltouri incident. Huh. Memories…
Truth is, this sucks. I miss him terribly, and so does my Nessie. It's been five days. It's must be some kind of record for us two to be apart since we got married. We've been living in Denali for about five months now. I miss Forks, but it was the right thing to do. A fresh start. Charlie is happy with Sue know, he wouldn't miss us as much.
And now, the Denali Hospital organized a ball in Carlisle's honor. He organized a multiple kidney donation or something like that. A grand medical achievement. He couldn't refuse, we plan to stay several years here, so he's just humoring them. So that involves all his family now, all the hospital is dying to meet Carlisle's family.
"Please Bella, when have you ever been in a mood for a party?" Alice said, bringing me back to the present.
I laughed, she was right. "Just please, remember it's all about Carlisle tonight. I don't want anything too over the top."
"Hey, it will be alright. It's just a dress I've been dying for you to wear. Lace is back, you know...", she said.
"Lace? AWW Alice!"
