29.


Bella,

I've really liked talking, well writing, to you these last few weeks. I think we've covered so much, but I have this feeling that we need to do this in person, too.

I want to see you when I talk to you.

I've missed you.

Do you think we could meet for coffee? Maybe at the same café we always went to? We can get something to drink, have a cupcake, and talk.

I'll be free anytime you'd like to go.

Edward,

I have to admit, I'm kind of nervous about talking to you face-to-face. I know it will bring up all sorts of feelings, and I'm almost certain that I'll make a fool of myself.

Still, I'd never pass up the opportunity for coffee and a cupcake.

Or the chance to talk to you.

How about Saturday afternoon? Is 2 all right?

-Bella


Bella,

That's more than fine.

I'll be there waiting. You can't miss me. I'll be wearing the old-man glasses, complaining about the price of the coffee I just purchased.

-E

I took a deep, shuddering breath.

I had two days to come up with what I was going to say to Bella, and I knew it wouldn't even matter because as soon as I saw her, I'd forget everything I'd practiced.
