What a Girl Wants, What a Boy Means

On the Brink

Fear.

Uncertainty.

Pride.

Nervous.

Bella feels those emotions and then some. She knows the job offer is huge. She wants it, can practically taste the hard work on her tongue.

She doesn't know what Edward will think.

Happy.

Ecstatic.

Confused.

Hurt.

Angry?

The job will send her to England for a year. If she takes it, everything is already set – the company will take care of the apartment, transportation funds, and the pay is fantastic.

"Edward?" she says his name tentatively.

He looks up, sees the look on her face, and tenses. "What's wrong?"

"Can we talk?"

His world changes.

Why does my boyfriend freeze up whenever I try to have a serious talk with him?
He assumes all serious conversations will lead to drama.
