A/N: Thanks so much for all your wonderful thoughts.

So, I was going to post this last night, but while I was working on it (Yes, a 100-word update takes work, lol. Try condensing a wordy b*tch's thoughts into a 100-word chapter ;) ) Anyway, as I was trying to finish up, my sis texted, "BDII is on, let's do a chat watch!" And I texted, "I'm trying to finish something!" But she insisted, and now our chat is full of 200+ comments on BDII, and…well, this wasn't completed. (Btw, once BDII ended, we switched over to Netflix so we could watch New Moon's break-up scene and cry. Yes, we are masochistic wenches. ;) )

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

First update of the day. :)

Chapter 28 – Lead and Follow


With much to discuss, we take off early.

"Where should we go?" Edward asks once we're in the misty outdoors.

"Hmm…it's a bit wet out…"

"But that's our weather, isn't it?" Grinning, he retakes my hand, and we're back to that weekend – strolling hand-in-hand, thrilled at our connection.

"Wanna take a walk along the South Bank?"

He pulls me close, punctuates his reply with kisses. "Bella…where you lead…I'll follow."

Well.

That answer resolves everything neatly…on the surface.

"Maybe…for now," I smile against his lips.

His eyebrow quirks. "For now?"

"Edward…I'm ready to do some following too."

Because we're older…and hopefully…wiser.
