CH 10: Post Scriptum
Dear Edward,
Jasper and I have come to the conclusion that, to leave behind old expectations, we must leave everything behind for a while. Alice wants to spend more time with Lydia before she brings her home, so to speak. She told Jasper she doesn't want to make the same mistakes with her, that she doesn't want to pressure Lydia into a living situation she might not care for. Emmett and Rose are taking everything in stride; they're going to take a little vacation of their own. Carlisle and Esme are taking some time off to do charity work in South America. I'm sure we'll all reconnect in a year or so, but it turns out we're all more than ready to hit the reset button. We all need a change.
Thank you for everything, Edward. Thank you for bringing me into your world, thank you for your love, thank you for your sacrifice. There are times I wish you had told me what was happening. A part of me will always feel like I should have gone instead of you, but then you and Jasper both would have ended up alone. You gave your life to save mine, but you really saved us all. How ironic that this all began with you nearly killing me in biology class. Thank you for resisting your singer's blood. Thank you for turning my world upside-down. Thanks to you, I'm where I belong. Thanks to you, I know where I'm going, and even as I go forward I will carry you with me forever.
Forever yours,
Bella
P.S. Guess what?
