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

This *might* be the last update of the night, but I'm going to try to update once more. However, I've got errands to run so…no promises. ;)

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

Chapter 30 - Traditional Edward


Edward

I make my offer under the London Eye, where a muted sun sets over the Thames and frames Bella in a golden halo.

"So…Bella…have you heard of…vertical farming?"

I offer basics: sustainable, controlled farming where crops grow in vertical rather than horizontal environments.

"Is that how you farm?"

"My land is traditionally-farmed."

"I like the image of you traditional-farming," she grins, eliciting a chuckle despite fears she won't want…this.

"I've…I've researched partial if not full transition into vertical farming. More recently…I've learned that vertical farming is emerging…here…in the UK."

She's quiet.

"Bella…I spoke to my partner and…if you want me…he'll take over in Forks."
