He really loves you
"Bella…" Alice intercepts.
"No, Alice. Enough! I´ve heard what you have to say, and I´m sure we have more to talk about, but this is between Edward and me."
"She´s right, Alice," he whispers.
"Alright, call me if you need me," she tells Bella.
"Thank you, Allie."
Alice hugs Bella for about a minute. "I miss you, B. Please, hear him out… he really loves you," she speaks quietly in Bella´s ear.
After Alice leaves, there´s an uncomfortable silence during which Edward looks anywhere but at Bella while she stares him down.
"So?" she finally asks.
"I went looking for you, love."
"No, you didn´t!" she scoffs.
"Please, Bella, listen to me," he pleads.
