"I'm so sorry," I said, pulling from his embrace. "I, I don't know what came over me," I stuttered, lowering my head in embarrassment.
"Oh Bella," he said, sighing. "You've just come through a traumatic experience and you're extremely vulnerable. I can understand how my actions might have given you the wrong impression. I'm totally to blame here and it should be me apologizing."
Shaking my head vehemently, I reached for him. Edward flinched slightly at my touch and I quickly withdrew my hand.
Oh god, what the hell have I done?
