Esme's words stayed at the fore front of my mind for the next few minutes. He was going to come out any moment. He was going to be safe.
It seemed as if time was standing still and the silence was deafening. One of the swat officers came out with Mike, and another one followed with James. They had been beaten within an inch of their lives.
Then I saw the love of my life slightly limping out of the door. I ran to him.
Our bodies crashed together as we kissed.
"Don't ever scare me like that again, love."
"I would have never gone in if I knew I was not coming back to you, angel. You gave me the strength to fight for our future. I was not going to let them take it away."
"Edward, you were unbelievably brave and insane at the same time."
He silenced me when he caught my mouth with his own. I had the urge to be alone with him.
"Mr. Cullen, we need to let the techs look at you."
"Let me help you, love. I'm not leaving your side."
No one could ever tear us apart again.
