"Your what?" Bella screams and I use her outburst as a distraction and reach forward, pulling Alice into my arms.

She melts against me with a sigh.

"Yes. Alice and I are engaged and I was coming to pick her up for her birthday dinner."

Both Bella and the faux police officer are flabbergasted.

Fuck 'em.

"Come on darling, we have reservations."

I can hear Bella yelling as we walk toward my car, but we ignore her.

I get her settled into the passenger seat and make sure she's buckled before I pull away.

Neither of us look back.


I could really say 'the end' and that would be okay...

But when do I do thing that are okay?

*smirk*
