The next week passed quickly, Sue took me shopping on Tuesday, some public holiday on Wednesday, we had barbeque then Saturday, Charlie and I went to the gun range. I was sad to leave on Sunday. Seth, Leah and Sue gave me paper flowers and a few pictures we'd taken together. Charlie sent me back with some American wine for Marcus, Emmett and my mother. Mom got a letter which I'm guessing was in reply to hers. I got a wood cuff. Alice got a bracelet.

Edward wiped a tear that escaped my closed eyes. I opened my eyes to look at him. I tried to smile

"I'm fine. It's just sad I guess" I told him he smiled empathetically. I looked at Jaspers sleeping form and rolled my eyes. We were currently on the Virgin Atlantic going to England. I turned my attention back to Edward who was checking his emails on a tablet. I moved closer to him to have a slight peek. He was writing an email to me, only it wasn't my email address.

I looked back at him. "I've been doing it for the past three years; it's like a habit now"

I raised my eyebrow in question. He laughed nervously. I opened a new email with your name. I email everyday about, well everything I wanted to tell you but couldn't."

"IM_Swan ?" I asked and the tip of his ears turned pink "the password id eacullen, all caps"

"you want me to read it?" I verified

"only if you want to, Bella" he assured me. he looked outside the window "we're here"

A few seconds later the pilot announced our decent into England as well as some other things I blocked out. Some guys in suit picked us up from the airport and drove us to the Buckingham palace. Jasper took my stuff inside while Edward showed me around

"I would show you Esme's garden, but she is the only one allowed in there" Edward told me. "Trust me, you do not want her to catch you in there" he told me after showing me most of the place. My feet were killing me.

"its okay, I couldn't walk anymore if I tried" I said to him

"sorry, big place" he shrugged

"I know the feeling" I said to him. i remember wandering around the Italian palace once...wouldn't want to do that again.

"are you up one more trip, lets go tell Uncle Carlisle we're back" he said

"sure he's probably with Marcus anyway"

Edward took my hand and led me to Carlisle's study

"Uncle, I'm back" he said as he opened the door.

Only it wasn't the king in there, it was Edward senior. As soon as he saw me, his posture went rigid and his eyes cold

"what is she doing here?"

'Inferno' my mind thought. oh hell indeed
