How Can I Help You?
Chapter 13
Regrets, Reunions and Realizations
EPOV
The gossip grapevine in a small town never ceases to amaze me. I had just walked into Weber's to get a coffee and place an order for lunch when I heard a name I had tried so hard not to think of the last 18 months, "Bella". Mrs. Weber was deep in conversation with another customer, so of course I pretended not to listen as I caught snippets. "She's going to be working for Eric down at the WEEKLY."And "Angela is helping to get her published. Have you seen that baby of hers? So adorable."
Hearing about the baby caused an unbearable ache in my chest. I told Mrs. Weber I would be right back and rushed out of the door.
After all we had done and said to each other, all the talks about what had really happened 8 years before, the plans they made together…she had gone back to him. She had his baby. Was everything that transpired between them just an elaborate way to get revenge for the hurt he caused her before she left for college?
That had been the biggest mistake of my life, letting her go thinking he didn't want her, love her, need her. I never should have let her go all those years ago.
OoOoO
Tanya had been the one that wanted to move to the little town of Forks, Washington to raise our girls. She loved the idea of a close community.
"It will be so wonderful for Kate and Irina to grow up in a town where everyone knows you."
That reasoning is what led to my downfall.
I had always been drawn to Bella. There was this undercurrent of electricity that flowed between us, but not only was I eleven years her senior, but I was also an extremely happily married man. Nothing was ever going to come from our connection. I wasn't the type of man that would cheat on his family.
When Tanya died, I wanted to die as well. I don't remember much of the first few weeks after the accident, but I remember feeling that electrical charge and knowing Bella was nearby. That just added to my grief and guilt. I sat there a broken man, my wife dead and I had developed feelings for my teenage babysitter. I was the worst kind of man.
After starting counseling with Liam, I spoke to him about what I was feeling for Bella. The guilt I felt about growing dependant on her. I was a 29 year old man having inappropriate thoughts about an 18 year old girl.
Liam assured me that it was normal to have such thoughts as long as I wasn't acting on them."Edward you may be grieving for your wife, but you are still a man. Of course you are going to react to a young beautiful woman living in your house. Give yourself time, don't rush into anything."
I thought I had gotten a handle on my thoughts and feelings about Bella, until I answered the phone in the early morning hours after the high school prom.
OoO
The phone rang pulling me from a dream.
"Hello?"
The crying on the end of the line snapped me awake. "Bella? What's wrong?"
After she told me what happened and where she was, I rushed to get to her, ready to murder her boyfriend. I didn't know exactly what had happened, but that she needed me was enough. I wanted to take her into my arms and never let go, protect her from the world. She insisted that he hadn't raped her and that she didn't want to go to the hospital, she didn't want Charlie to find out.
I took her back to the house, but checked on her repeatedly throughout the day, sending Mom in with lunch and to try to get her to talk. I knew I shouldn't have gone into her room that night.
I had been working in my studio when I heard her scream. It was such a heartbreaking sound. I rushed into her room and saw her thrashing around. I tried shaking her, calling out to her to wake her up, but nothing was helping. I lay down beside her and pulled her into my arms, speaking softly trying to soothe her while holding her still. She calmed almost immediately. I kissed her hair, soothing her with whispered words that she was safe, no one would hurt her.
I jolted awake when I heard a door slam. At first I didn't know where I was. Shit, I had fallen asleep in Bella's room. Thankfully she was still asleep, so I eased away from her and out the door. My parents were up and getting their bags ready to head home. We had gotten into a nice routine with them coming to visit on the weekends.
Just before my parents left, Rini threw herself against my mother begging them to let her live with them.
She had seen me in Bella's room and thought I was replacing her mommy. I tried to console Irina and explained that I had merely fallen asleep in there after calming Bella down after her nightmare. I didn't want anything I did to affect my children, so I distanced myself from Bella. I tried to distance myself from her anyway, but the pull was too strong.
When Bella broke up with Jacob, I felt like it was a sign that we were meant to be together. Unfortunately some members of my family didn't understand my feelings.
Alice made her displeasure abundantly clear."Edward, you can't possibly have a relationship with her. Bella is a teenager, she's leaving for college at the end of the summer and you'll be left here raising your daughters."
I knew she was only trying to help me, but Alice just didn't understand that what I was feeling was stronger than anything I had ever felt before. As awful as it was to admit, I felt a deeper connection on just a friendship level with Bella, than I had ever felt even with Tanya.
Rini was a concern. She loved Bella but felt like she was betraying her mother's memory by loving her. She liked that we could all go out and spend time together, but at even a hint that I wanted more from Bella would set her off.
I spent time with Maggie after the appointments with Kate and Irina, asking how to handle introducing a possible romantic relationship to both girls. I explained that I was interested in someone, but nothing was going on yet, I just wanted to be prepared for the eventuality. She knew what had happened with Bella, about my falling asleep and being caught by Rini, her reaction to that had been explosive, and there was nothing going on then.
Maggie told me to just move slowly, giving the girls time to adjust. Bella would be leaving for school and not around as much, so I should tell the girls we can make trips to Seattle to visit not just their grandparents, but Bella as well. She wanted me to ease Irina into the idea of Bella being a permanent part of our lives.
It was a lot to weigh in my head before I even told Bella how I felt. When I did, I was so afraid that I looked like a fool. I wasn't sure she even had feelings for me anymore.
Tanya had been the one to clue me into the crush Bella had on me. I never paid attention to things like that.
oOo
"Hon, can you come here for a minute?" Tanya was in our room sorting through pictures to take to Mom's for some scrapbook get together. I walked into the room, kissing her as I sat down with her on the bed.
"What's up, baby?"
She smiled at me, running her eyes over my bare chest. "It's a good thing Renee is home from the hospital, otherwise you'd give Bella a heart attack walking around like that."
"Sure babe, I think Bella is doing her drooling over Jake right now."
She laughed saying, "It's a good thing too, otherwise I'd never let you out of my sight."
Tanya's tone was light but she seemed off. "What's wrong sweetheart? You look like something is bothering you. Is something wrong with Bella?"
"You know I love you, Edward, and that I trust you, but I'm not a fool either. I'm getting older and I'm not as smooth and perky as a teenager anymore. You are still young enough to have a dozen other kids."
Now she was scaring me. "T, what in the world are you talking about? You are young, beautiful and the only woman I love and look at. What's gotten into you?"
She handed me a few pictures. "I took these a couple of weeks ago. Bella was staying here while Renee was in the hospital. Look at that picture and tell me what you see?"
I took it from her and felt my breath whoosh out of me. The picture was one of Bella and I on the piano bench. I remembered playing for her one night. This picture had been taken after I finished playing and we were looking at each other. I could see the sparkle of love on Bella's face, in her eyes. The problem with the picture was that when you looked at me, it was on my face as well.
"I love you Edward, I love our life together. Please don't do anything either of us will regret."
oOo
I had spent that night proving my love and devotion to Tanya, over and over. I took that picture hid it away. The others showed her feelings, but only that one showed my feelings as well. Tanya never doubted my feelings for her and trusted both Bella and I not to let anything happen. I felt the guilt hit me at first when I kissed Bella. It felt so right, but wrong at the same time. I tried to fight the feelings I had again and again, but I finally decided that I deserved to be happy and I wanted to try to get it.
I felt freer, happier with Bella than I had in so long. I saw what we could eventually have together.
I didn't want to hold Bella back, I wanted her to go to school, become what she dreamed of being. I knew we could work our schedules so that we could have time together, both as a family and alone time.
She just fit so well with my family. My parents adored her, my children loved her and she was a natural with them. I knew she would be a great mother one day. That thought excited me more than I ever thought it would. Bella, round with our child, one that would have her dark hair and my eyes, I wanted that someday.
When my parents come for a visit and wanted to take Kate and Irina to Disneyland, it was both a blessing and a curse. Having the girls around helped me keep myself in check, to be without them for a week…it would be hard to keep myself from Bella.
My parents knew about us. Dad cautioned me about rushing into a new relationship, Mom was torn in her reactions. She was happy that Bella had brought happiness back into our lives again, but worried that our age difference and where we were in our lives would be too much for us. She didn't necessarily want to stop what was developing, just hoped we would take our time.
The week we spent in Seattle was pure Heaven. After getting through to Alice about not butting in (Thank you Jasper), Bella and I had a fantastic time together. It was nice to see my hometown through her eyes. Of course I thought I would die from all of her teasing touches. I felt like a perpetually horny seventeen year old again. I wanted her so much, but if we were going to be together, forever, there was no rush. Bella seemed to have a different take on that. Her sleep talking turned me on and drove me crazy. She was very vocal about what she wanted from me.
Back at my house in Forks, finally being inside of her, my love, my light, it was unlike any other experience. I only wish we had had more time together.
Irina finding us was the worst thing that could have happened. Mom tried to help my console and explain to Rini. I had felt so terrible just running out on Bella, but she understood my need to reach my daughter. After having finally calmed her down I spent the next few hours making the biggest and toughest decision of my life.
I couldn't put my personal happiness and desires above my children. Irina wasn't going to be comfortable around Bella anymore, and while it would kill me to hurt Bella, I was going to do it in a way that painted me as the 'bad guy' so she wouldn't resent the girls. She was young, so hopefully she would be able to move on and find someone without as much baggage as I had.
I took her for that last walk, I wanted nothing more than to take her to the meadow and hold her tight, to never let go. Instead I was hateful, hurtful and cruel. I hoped that by hating me she would have an easier time getting past it.
Kate was inconsolable for days, she didn't understand why Bella was gone, or how she could leave without saying goodbye. Dad had done what I asked him to do, give Bella the envelope I prepared. I had given Bella money to help her over the semester. I didn't want her to have to work if she needed to study. When after a month the check had still not been cashed I called Charlie Swan. I just wanted to touch base with him and find out if Bella had gotten settled in at UW.
I was shocked to learn she had changed schools at the last moment. She had given up her full scholarship at UW for student loans and grants at Stanford, and she still had not used the money I wanted her to use.
I found out Mom was in contact with Bella and sent three more checks to her, but none were ever cashed. She wouldn't accept my money. I had driven her out of the state, to a great school, but also one that caused her to be in financial difficulties. I had to help her in some way. I placed a call to my lawyer, Jenks, to ask for his help setting up a trust that would be "awarded" to Bella to pay for her tuition, my only condition was that it could not trace back to me. I wanted her to use that money.
During Christmas vacation, I thought I would see Bella out with her mom, but no. Word got around that she was seeing Jacob again. I hoped she was happy. When I received the package containing my UW t-shirt as well as the checks I had given her, I felt as if I had been punched. Emmett and Jasper took me drinking to make me feel better.
Over the summer I hoped I would see her or hear anything from her, like the girls had, but nothing. I could have called her, but I thought she had done what I wanted and moved on with her life. Alice tried to set me up on several blind dates. I did go out twice, but they were awful. I just couldn't get past Bella. I missed her, ached for her.
The major change in my life was hiring Mrs. Cope. Mom had found her when I had to fly to LA for meetings with the production company about the score I worked on. Shelly, as she asked us to call her, was hired to be our housekeeper as well as help with the girls if I needed it. She had retired from the high school and wanted something to keep her busy so she wouldn't murder her husband. She arrived before the girls left for school and was here when they came home. When I had to travel she had no problems staying over at the house. The score I worked on got a lot of notice and more offers came in, this meant time away from Kate and Irina, time spent in Los Angeles.
When the news spread about Bella's engagement, I wanted to curl up and die. Wasn't this what I had wanted for her? Didn't I tell her to find someone else to fall in love and build a family with? I told her she wouldn't have that with me, so she finally moved on. I was the biggest asshole on the planet for being jealous of Jacob Black.
I had not lived like a monk while she was in school. My work caused me to spend time in Los Angeles, and while I was away from the pressures of home and family, and memories of Bella, I had a few meaningless trysts, but they left me feeling emptier than I ever had before.
I punished myself for my stupidity, by attending the wedding at FirstBeach. Seeing the lovely vision she made as she walked down the aisle on Charlie's arm, I thought I would die never being able to touch her again. I wanted to be able to shout that I objected to the marriage. That I wanted her for now and for always, but nothing came out. I wouldn't ruin her day.
I became a ghost again. I was there when the girls needed me, but I just existed. My daughters were growing up before my eyes, each day they looked more and more like Tanya. Kate spoke regularly with Bella, so I knew she was happy.
Charlie told me she was graduating from Stanford Summa Cum Laude. I was so proud of her, even thought I already knew of this. I had managed to take care of Bella without her knowledge. Pacific Northwest Trust covered all of her tuition and as she remained on the Dean's List and graduated with honors, it would cover any student loans she had taken out. I knew she would achieve greatness in her life. I was faced with many regrets, but loving her and helping her achieve her dreams weren't among them.
When I heard that Renee was terminal and back in the hospital in Seattle, I didn't go there expecting to see Bella. I only wished to pay my respects to a wonderful woman and friend. I think Renee knew I had been in love with her daughter for years. She always made a point to check in with me and the girls. I hated that she was losing her battle with such a terrible disease.
I walked into her room at the hospital carrying a vase of flowers and balloons. "How are you feeling today, Renee?" I hadn't noticed that someone else was in the room.
"Oh I'll be fine in no time, especially if I get visitors like you each day."
Bella turned towards me, "Hello Edward, it's so nice of you to visit my mother. I'll just let you two visit for a while. Mom, I'll be back. I'm just going to get a drink and take a walk." She flew out of the room.
I looked at Renee and made my way over to sit in the chair Bella had just vacated.
She smiled at me, shaking her head.
"Edward dear, will you do something for me?"
"Anything for you Renee."
"Get going after my daughter and you two work this out. She's been in love with you for the last 6 plus years. Don't you think its time for you to make your move?"
I sat there staring dumbly at the woman in front of me.
"Renee, I can't, she's married. I missed my chance."
She rolled her eyes and huffed at me. "They aren't happy. She hasn't said anything to me, but I'm willing to bet she's ready to divorce him. Please, if you want to grant me a last wish, make my daughter happy."
I did go chasing after Bella. I had to beg for her to listen to me. I apologized for all the lies, for hurting her, for pushing her away.
We spent every moment that she wasn't at Renee's side, together. The happiness I felt was incredible. I discovered that the one time we had truly been together was no fluke. Bella was my other half, my soulmate. We fit together like two unique puzzle pieces, one only designed to fit the other.
When her mom passed Bella made arrangements to fly back to Sacramento to back her belongings and ship them home. She no longer considered California home, Forks was home and we were starting over. She was coming back to me.
I was in Los Angeles during the second week after she left. I was surprised to see her name light up on my phone late one night. "Hey love, I didn't expect to hear from you so late." A throat cleared on the other end of the line. "It's Jake."
What the hell? "Why are you calling me? Where is Bella?"
"Look Cullen, I don't know how to do this 'gently' so I'm just going to say it. Bella told me all about your affair. We're going into counseling together, but we are staying together. Bella is pregnant and we're committed to raising our child together."
I couldn't believe what I was hearing. "Where is Bella? Let me hear this from her."
"She's sleeping now. The pregnancy is hitting her pretty hard, taking a lot out of her. I'll tell her to call you tomorrow."
I wasn't going to believe it until I heard it from Bella. I still had not heard from her a week later. I tried her cell phone several times a day, all I got was voicemail. I sent countless emails and never received a reply. I even sent a couple of letters, those were eventually returned.
Once I was home Kate told me Bella had called looking for me. Irina mentioned that Bella had called and left a message. She ran to get the paper she had written the message on. "She didn't want to speak to you, Daddy. She just asked that I take the message down and make sure you got it.
Edward, I'm sorry that it has to be this way. I never wanted to hurt you like this, but Jake is who I need to be with. I'm pregnant and I have to give us a chance to raise our child together.
There was something about it that wasn't sitting well with me, but unless I drove to Sacramento and showed up on her doorstep, what else was I to do? Two weeks later I hit my emotional rock bottom. Charlie had been telling everyone that Bella was pregnant and how happy she and Jake were about the baby. I went straight to the local tavern and drank my weight in Jack Daniels. Emmett had to take me home and sober me up. I had been trying to forget her ever since then.
OoOoO
Hearing that she's here, that she's moving home… I don't know how I'll handle it.
When my order is ready, I walk over to Rose's office to drop her lunch off. Her receptionist was not at the desk so I headed back towards Rosalie's office. I could hear voices coming from there and her door was slightly ajar.
I could see Bella from where I was standing. Her beautiful chestnut hair hanging down her back. I can see she's upset about something and heard her say she needed to tell me about something, but I tuned her out as her son lifted his head and turned his eyes on me.
I had expected dark eyes to match his dark hair, instead I see something that shocked me all the way from my hair to my toes.
In the baby's chubby face, my own eyes looked back at me.
What have you done, Bella? What have you done?
OoOoO
BPOV
Riley wasn't paying any attention to me. He was focused at something behind me. Rose coughed and looked towards the door. "Hey."
"Emmett asked me to bring lunch over to you. I hope Weber's chicken salad is fine."
The voice that had been haunting my sleep filled my ears. I looked over my shoulder and saw his face. Edward was looking at Riley with pain filled eyes. Riley smiled and batted his eye lashes at him. "Mammamammaaa" He was excited and hitting my shoulder, not realizing the tension in the room.
"Hello Edward. How have you been?"
"Bella…what was it you needed to tell me?" Edward wasn't looking at me, he was still staring at Riley, at his great big expressive, emerald green eyes. Eyes just like his father's.
Riley was getting excited with all the attention centered on him. He stood up in my lap and was bouncing while trying to reach back for Edward. Rose leaned forward to take the box from Edward. "Thanks for bringing lunch by. Bella was just signing the lease for the cottage."
He looked at me then, "So you are really moving back? That cottage isn't very big, won't the three of you be crowded there?"
I gathered my courage and stood to face him. "Jake isn't coming here. I filed the divorce papers before leaving California. I should have done it long ago."
Edward walked over to me, looking from me to Riley.
"May I?" Riley practically leaped out of my arms and into Edward's.
Riley was babbling happily, smiling his toothy grin. Edward gave Riley a huge smile.
"Hey big guy, aren't you handsome? What's his name, Bella?"
My throat felt tight, I swallowed before I could answer him. "Riley. Riley Masen Swan."
Rose choked on her lunch. "You okay, Rosalie?"
She took a drink of her water then said, "Yeah, I'm just going to walk down to the bakery to get a doughnut. You two sit, talk. I'll be back later."
Edward, still holding Riley, sat in the chair next to where I had been sitting.
"Tell me Bella. I already see it, when were you planning to tell me I had a son? Were you planning to tell me? Do you hate me that much that you would keep this from me?"
Riley pat Edward on his cheek. "Babbagabba Mammamammaa dadgbaaddadbbad."
"You have a lot to say, huh little man?" Edward kissed Ry's forehead then handed him back to me.
"Was the whole time we were together just a way to get back at me Bella? I know I fucked up and hurt you all those years ago, but I thought we had moved passed that. I loved you, wanted to start a new life with you, but you returned to him, pregnant with my child, and had Jake call to break up with me? Why? Were you planning to get pregnant? It's the only way you could have known so soon, if you were testing early to find out."
He was pacing the floor, dragging his hands through his hair. "I've been in love with you for yearsand we finally connected again. You said you forgave me for hurting you, that you understood where I had been coming from. You made plans to move home, Bella, you were divorcing him. I neverwould have touched you if I had known you would be going back to him."
He was so angry. He was acting like I ignored him, I had tried to reach him.
"Why wouldn't you answer my calls? Why didn't you answer my emails? I tried to reach you for weeks, Edward. I finally reached Kate and she said that Shelly had moved in and Irina told me you were dating her and in love. I found out I was pregnant a month after I left Seattle. I was scared to do it on my own and I thought you had pushed me away again, so I stayed in California with Jake."
Riley was starting to get fussy. It was well past his lunchtime and I needed to go.
"I've got to get Ry some lunch. Can we talk later? We need to get everything out."
Edward looked like he was going to say something, then changed his mind. As I gathered my things, he grabbed my arm.
"Wait Bella. Why don't you come to the house. We can get Riley something for lunch and have privacy to talk things through."
I thought about it, "Yeah, let's get this cleared away. I want us to be able to have some kind of relationship if only for Riley's sake."
He took my bag as I carried Riley to my car and fastened him into his seat. "Do you have your car here or do you need a ride?"
Edward pointed over to a charcoal grey Volvo SUV. "I'll meet you at the house. Still remember the way?" I nodded and got into the car. Ry was chewing on his fist. He was hungry and would be screaming if we didn't hurry.
I really hoped the girls wouldn't be at the house. They were both attending Forks High now, and should still be in classes. As I turned into the driveway I was bombarded with memories from the last time I was here.
OoOoO
"Its okay, Edward. I've been on the pill for a while now." I kissed him gently. He looked at me, asking again, "Are you sure this is what you want?"
"Ugh, you feel so good, so tight." Edward looked at me, "Are you alright? Am I hurting you?"
We were in the midst of a deep kiss, Edward was between my legs rocking against me, working up for another round, when we hear Alice shouting downstairs. "No, Rini, come back." Edward sat back and was trying to find the covers when the door to the bedroom burst open. He managed to cover us, but it was too late. She had already seen us together. She gave me a hate filled glare before running back out the door and down the stairs.
"Come walk with me?"
"Bella, we need to talk. This… this has all been a huge mistake."
"Pack you belongings Bella and go home. Take the next several weeks, until you start school, with pay. When it's time, you'll go to school, meet someone, fall in love, get married. Do this Bella, because you'll never have any of that with me."
OoOoO
I hoped that this time, I wouldn't be leaving here completely destroyed. Edward was at the door ready to unfasten Riley and take him from the car.
"Look at you, such a big boy. Are you hungry? I think we have some Cheerios, maybe some sliced bananas? Let's get you fed." He opened my door and gave me a hand out of the car, then led us into the house.
"Edward? Is that you?" A woman's voice called from the kitchen.
"Yeah Shell, I've got a couple of friends here for lunch." He led us into the kitchen and grabbed a clean dishtowel, gave me that, a banana, a table knife and the box of Cheerios. We walked over to the table. Edward sat , still holding Ry, while I draped the towel around Riley's neck securing it. Edward poured some cereal onto the table and asked me to slice the banana for him.
"So you asked why I never returned your calls and emails. Bella, after we spoke when I was heading to LA, I never received another call from you. After Jake called me to tell me you told him about our relationship, that you were going to marriage counseling and then told me you were pregnant…I tried to reach you. I wanted to speak to you when he called, but you were sleeping. You were supposed to call me the next day. Over a week later is when Kate told me you called to look for me, and Irina gave me a message that you left. You should have spoken to me, Bella. I deserved to know about him. I feel like I was robbed of my chance to be there every minute for him."
"There's something wrong here. When exactly did Jacob call you? How did he call you?"
"It was a call from your phone. Um, I was still in Los Angeles, you had been gone for two weeks or so. I tried to get you, but I kept getting voicemail. I was ready to fly to Sacramento and walk up to your door when I got the message you gave Irina."
"Did she tell you I called and urgently needed to speak to you when you got back in from your date?" I was already counting to 100, trying to keep my temper in check.
"No, it was the one where you told me that you were sorry for hurting me, but that you were staying with Jake to raise your baby."
I just rolled my eyes, "That was not my message. I would never have left something like that in a message. Also at that point in time, I didn't know I was pregnant, so why would I have had Jake call you. I would have said something to you, if I had wanted to breakup. God how I wanted you. I wanted to go to you, but you were ignoring me and then Irina told me you had found your "One". I was hormonal, scared to be alone, so I stayed. You don't know how much I wish I could just go back and change things. I would have come home then, and told you about the baby. Riley would have had you from day one."
Something had happened to us. Someone had actively tried to keep us apart. It looked like both Irina and Jake had had a hand in it, but what could we prove.
Edward took my hand with his free one. "I want to be in his life, Bella. Please believe me when I say that I would have been there for you every moment of your pregnancy. I wanted this for us, from the beginning. Back before I even knew about your feelings for me, I had imagined you carrying our child. I told you I lied on that trail, when I told you that you could never have a family with me. I had always wanted that with you."
I wasn't sure where we were going to go from this point. So much time had passed. We couldn't just pick up where we left off, but I couldn't deny that my feelings for Edward weren't just as strong as they had always been.
We needed to finish talking everything through. We both needed to find out what happened.
Riley had been happily smashing banana pieces all over Edward and I just had to laugh at the picture they made together. I am just so happy Edward wants to be in Riley's life and has accepted him so readily.
"You should wash up Edward. That banana is going to start to smell soon."
He pierced me with his gaze. "You'll stay here right, wait here while I shower? We can resume our discussion then." I cleaned Riley up, "Sure we'll wait in the den for you. We still have to decide how to tell Kate and Rini about Riley."
That's not going to be a pretty discussion. Maybe I need to buy a flack jacket.
OoOoO
Sooo how'd you like Edward's point of view? Did he answer any of your questions?
Next chapter : Edward, Bella, Riley, Kate and IRINA…It'll be interesting.
Please let me know what you think. Leave a review.
