Oh boy, sorry for leaving you guys hanging. It's been a hectic week at my flower patch, the blossoms have temporarily lost their minds...at least I hope it's temporary.

You get a whole bouquet of chapters today (blame spring fever and spending an inordinate amount of time at my local home improvement stores for my horrible flower references).

Enjoy!


CHAPTER 25 - EMMETT

Edward finally stops trying to force me to say unspeakable things when he notices Bella's face go from a pale peachy tint to flaming red. It's kind of funny actually.

Emmett is on the prowl. Let's see how "Blondie" responds.
