"Hello?" she said. I was glad she answered my call! I guess she was a bit different than Mom!

"Isabella, I'm really, really sorry for behaving the way I did." I said.

"That's fine. You don't need to apologize." she said.

That's fine?

Was that a sarcastic comment?

Maybe I should give more explanation.

"I'm not having any affair. Yes, I was in love with her and I wanted to marry her, but that was four years ago. I haven't even met her since then. You can ask me as many questions as you want. I'll give you the honest answers."

"Edward... That's fine. You don't owe me any explanations." she said, "I'm sorry for leaving like that."

That's fine?

"No, I was way out of line a few times. I'm sorry!" I said, "Jasper called and he told me about what exactly happened."

"I know." she said, "Alice called me, too. I'm sorry for not trusting you. Maybe I overreacted."

"No! Look, she tried to misguide you. You wouldn't have overreacted if I had handled it properly." I said.

"No, I think I overreacted. To be honest, that's your personal life. You can do whatever you want."

Alright, so now it was my personal life? Okay!

I guess she was still mad at me?

"Isabella, I'm sorry, I should have realized this earlier, but you were right. You had mentioned very clearly that you didn't mind anything as long as nobody humiliates you, and Alice had humiliated you, so the condition was definitely breached."

"Yeah I reacted the way I did because of the humiliation I faced," she said, "My self-respect was hurt."

"I'm really sorry about that," she said.

"I want to say one thing," she said, "Whatever happened today, it doesn't have any impact on the conditions we had defined earlier. I still don't mind the casual physical relationships."

Okay?

So did she still think that I'd be having those? Maybe I should clarify it? But wasn't the point of this marriage not interfering too much? Why should I give clarifications? Why should we try to update the arrangement that had been working pretty well till now?

Wait, did it mean she was having those casual physical relationships? I didn't really think about it, but now I was wondering if that was the case! But well, it shouldn't matter to me. I had said it clearly that I didn't mind them. Did I really not mind them though? I wasn't sure!

But anyway, we needed to end this fight, so there was no point dragging this issue.

"Okay, same here." I said.

"So we're good?" she asked.

"Yeah," I said.

"Can I... Can I come back home?" She asked.

It was a simple question, and it shouldn't have affected me the way it did.

'Home'.

It was crazy how two people referred to this stupid house at home, and yet we were living completely independent lives, and it's like we didn't even know each other.

Was this really a home?

I had no fucking idea why I was being so dramatic!

"Of course, you can," I said, "You didn't ask for my permission while leaving, so I'm not sure why the hell you should need it now?"

Yeah, that didn't sound dramatic I guess!

It sounded... cool!
