Emmett couldn't say why he had agreed to meet with Rosalie.

But here they were, having lunch in the restaurant in which they had celebrated their first wedding anniversary. Her choice.

"It feels good to see you again." She said smiling. He noticed that she had lost some weight, that her smile wasn't sincere. "I'm sorry about Edward. He insisted on talking to you."

"It's okay."

"I'm ready to sign the papers." She looked down at her plate and began playing with her food. "I won't keep you from seeing our daughters."

As he had feared, Emmett was at a loss for words. That was why he had primarily refused to meet up with her.

"I have one question though," She looked up and talked after he nodded. "Is there someone else?"

Emmett was tired of people assuming it was the reason of his leaving. But it was the truth nonetheless. "Yes."

Her face crumbled.

"But it was years ago, before us. I don't know, I got news of her and... It affected me."

"Nothing happened?" Her eyes were watery and Emmett hated himself for making her go through this.

"Nothing. I..."

His phone rang.

It was Alice.
