The Twilight Twenty-Five
Prompt: Walls
Pen name: en-glace
Pairing: n/a (Charlie, Bella)
Rating: K
Charlie listened to the rain drive in hard blasts against the aluminum siding while trying to pretend that Bella didn't have a boy – that boy – in her room. He'd promised her his trust and she'd promised him an open door.
But Bella was secretive and had a knack for shutting him out; he supposed she'd earned it honestly. He wasn't exactly going to win Talkative Father of the Year.
It was uncanny the way she'd turned out so much like him in spite of the years with Renee. The thought warmed Charlie's heart. It was a fair trade after all.
