A/N: Thanks so much for your wonderful thoughts!

Most characters belong to S. Meyer. The rest belong to me. All mistakes are mine.

Chapter 14 - Rehearsal


PRESENT:

Rehearsal Dinner:

I'm nervous…

And I'm also peeking at Edward in a suit. I think I catch him peeking my way too.

However, Vicky has his conversation.

When he excuses himself, with the table entertained, I follow.

My heart hammers, but even if woefully overdue, I owe him courage.

Intercepted in the hallway, he's startled.

"Edward…can we talk?"

He rakes his hair, buries his hands in his pockets.

"Last night…I'm not sure what I-"

He sighs. "Bella, don't worry about it. You weren't yourself."

"That's not…I…" -exhaling- "Do you still want answers?"

Ages transpire as he silently scrutinizes me…then nods.


A/N: Thoughts?

One more update tonight. Strap in. ;)
