Emmett loved Bella. The closer they got to their wedding day, though, the more obvious the cracks in their foundation became. He tried telling himself it was just nerves, but eventually, he had to stop lying to himself. He wasn't marrying Bella because he couldn't imagine spending the rest of his life without her, but because it was the next logical step. He hadn't even proposed; it seemed like he just woke up one morning engaged. Terrified that his silence would lead to a lifetime of love without passion, Emmett gathered his nerve.
"Bella? We need to talk."
"I know."
A/N: Athena betas, even when I make her emo. Inspired by a conversation I had with a certain someone about why Em/Bella would never work.
