Heart-attack: Cullen Senior died in sleep

His Heart

The only reason, why I slightly regretted the death of your father, was, that I knew, you were hurting.

Emmett brought the news to me and tried to speak on your behalf, but I wouldn't change my current course. Even though the old bastard was dead, you couldn't know about my little son.

This was a difficult chapter. I was slightly tempted to let Bella dance on Senior's grave.

See you on Tuesday.
