Just want to say sorry for the inconsistant chapter size, I had started wanting to do 100 chapters. And wow, hats off to all those authors that can pull that off because it's a lot harder than it seems. =/


10.

Night was falling, and by the time they wound through the canyon and up onto the ridge, the sun was setting a brilliant orange over the distant ocean. "Wow," Emmett said as they rounded a curve.

"There's a pull-off up on the left," Edward said quietly.

Emmett brought the car to a halt with a magnificent view of the city and the ocean from their mountain perch. "Wow," he said again in the silence. "This is what I thought living in L.A. would be all about."

"Looks like a movie scene, doesn't it?"

"Yeah." Emmett turned off the Prius, or tried to, until Edward did it for him. "Not what it's really like at all."

"You don't like it here?" Edward asked.

"I do. I mean, it's not what I expected, but it's all right." Emmett huffed out a breath. "Came out here to be an actor, and now I walk other people's dogs for a living, but at least the weather's great. I can load 'em up in my truck and take them to a park or the trails or something."

There was a pause, and when Emmett turned, he saw Edward's brow furrowed. "So you're not really interested in the car?"

It took a moment, but Emmett realized what he'd just said, and he desperately wanted to facepalm. "Um. I guess not?"


Thanks for reading!
