A/N: Thanks so much for all your wonderful thoughts.
Most characters belong to S. Meyer. The rest belong to me. All mistakes are mine.
Chapter 17 – Stunned
PRESENT:
Edward
For one long moment, I simply stare in stunned silence. And although she's uncomfortable, she holds my gaze evenly…dauntlessly. Those dark eyes have always easily hypnotized me, and damn, part of me just wants to-
But pretend?
"You thought I'd pretend? Why didn't you tell me about this that weekend?"
"I didn't realize how her teachings affected me until that night…that moment. I saw my goals…disappearing…and yours…taking over."
I lean in. "Why would my goals take over?"
"Because I loved you too."
I reel back.
"Of course, I did," she confirms.
Another eternity.
"Then you really messed up."
A/N: Thoughts?
One more update later tonight.
