Edward Cullen/thinks Bella is the bee's knees

Bella.

That's her name.

Beautiful Swan.

"That is the most cliché pick-up line I've ever heard. I have literally heard it a zillion times. I know he's stoned but don't come back until he comes up with something more original."

Emmett comes into the room and shakes his head.

"My brain is fried. I can't repeat all of that."

"I heard her. Gimme a second to think."

I hold up one blurry finger.

"Fuck, look at my hand, Em."

He laughs, and I hear her laugh.

It's tinkling and pretty.

"Hey, Emmett," she calls from across the hall.

He gives a heavy sigh, but he's smiling as he leaves my room.

"You two know that you can hear each other, right?" he asks.

"Yeah, but I would miss your face so much. I have a question."

"Shoot."

"Before we go any further, I have to ask. Is this a here or an away game for you two?"
