And then he reached for her hand and pulled her body toward his. Looking into her sky blue eyes, he asked her to become his wife.

The End

Edward was filled with relief when he typed the final words of his manuscript. He couldn't wait to send it to his editor hoping she was as pleased with it as he was. He hadn't met her in person yet, but he felt like he'd known her forever.

He looked around the picturesque cottage, and though he found it warm and relaxing, he was ready to get back to his condo in the city.

Since it was a gorgeous day, Edward decided to take his loyal companion, Sam, out for a hike through the woods.

Bella insisted on driving herself to the winery instead of taking Alice up on her offer of a ride. Alice was constantly telling Bella what a piece of shit her truck was but it was her baby, and she refused to get rid of it.

When Bella saw the smoke emitting from the hood and heard the sputter of the engine, she could finally admit that Alice was right. She looked around and saw that she was pretty much in the middle of nowhere. Cursing the lack of reception on her cell phone, she decided to get out of her truck and take a look around the area. The only bright spot she could find was that it was a beautiful spring day.

Bella saw a driveway cut into the forest and decided to follow the path in hopes of finding someone who could help her. She needed to get a hold of Alice.

As she walked up the long driveway, Bella was met with a clearing full of wildflowers, a meadow of sorts. When she saw the wishing-well and stone-faced cottage it made her think she had just stepped into a Thomas Kinkade painting.

She stood and stared at the charming cottage with a sigh. She always envisioned having somewhere so peaceful to go. She loved her life in the city but sometimes just felt like getting away from it all.

"Hello."

Bella turned around and saw the most handsome man with his dog. "Hello, may I?" she asked motioning to Sam.

"Sure," Edward said, as he watched the beautiful girl pet Sam. "So, what brings you out here?"

Bella told Edward her situation. He told her that there was no phone but invited her inside telling her she could use his computer.

They made small talk while he gave her a tour of the place. Neither one of them could deny the attraction that was immediate and intense.

As Edward went to get her a drink, Bella opened up his computer to contact Alice. What she found was Edward's manuscript. As realization dawned on her, she couldn't help the gigantic smile that formed.

For the last several months she had been harvesting a crush on the author whose work she was editing.
