Bella sighed and reached for Edward. He hung his head, ashamed that his moment of inattention had meant the doe had suffered.
In reality, age and experience had not matured Bella's perpetually moody spouse one iota. Fortunately for Edward, the previous five hundred and forty-four years had not reduced Bella's willingness to covet Edward's every disposition nor her ability to suffer anything for him.
Carlisle, who struggled to keep his thoughts in check, was exceedingly glad his relationship with Esme was not characterized by or built upon the comforts found in the mutual need for penitence and martyrdom.
Edward winced.
