"Aren't you going to miss the food?" Edward asked me, his eyes blazing as he tried to stare me down from across my kitchen table. He picked up a strawberry from my lunch plate and held it between long, pale fingers.

"Miss the food when?" I asked through a mouthful of sandwich.

"We have a pretty strict diet," he muttered, his voice low and harsh.

Oh. He was still trying to convince me to grow old and wrinkly while he stayed frozen seventeen forever in all of his befuddling perfecting. Right.

"Hm," I mused as I shoved a chip into my mouth, "An eternity with you or some really good slices of pizza… You know, now that you mention it, I think I choose the pizza." My voice was dripping with sarcasm.

"Not just pizza," he pressed. "Gourmet spaghetti. I'll take you to Rome if you like, and you can have the most exquisite Italian food in the world."

"Thanks, but no thanks." I hoped my tone would close the matter.

"Or Ghirardelli chocolate in San Francisco," he offered, placing the strawberry back on my plate.

I stayed silent as I chewed.

"Hot Fudge Sundays, steaming hot Corn on the Cobb in Tennessee, BBQ in Texas, authentic Chinese food in Hong Kong. We could go anywhere you like, Bella."

It appeared he wasn't going to give this up. I scooted out from the table, my chair making a loud noise on the linoleum floor. I went to the sink and began washing off my plate.

He continued to talk over the noise of the faucet. "Dinner overlooking the Eiffel Tower in Paris, hot chocolate in a cozy pub in London… Zesty chili, hamburgers, angel cake, fresh grown watermelon, ripe apples, spicy burritos…"

I started tuning him out when he got to the names of food that I'd never heard before.

"Steak! Bella, think of all the rarely cooked steak!"

I turned off the faucet, set my plate in the sink, and stumbled over to where he still sat at the table.

"Edward. There isn't a food in the world that could taste better than you."

And then I bent down and pressed my lips to his.

When I broke away, he was grinning. "You terrible little monster," he muttered.
