"Oh, for heaven's sake, Edward." Mom sighs and hands me a glass of cider.
"What?"
"You've been doom and gloom since you dropped her off at the airport."
"Her name is Bella, and sue me for missing my girlfriend."
Mom's lips form a thin line.
"Why do you dislike her so much? Seriously?" I demand.
"She isn't good enough for you. You've got a lot going for you, and I don't want to see you end up trapped in a relationship with a gold digger."
"Bella doesn't know anything about how much I'm worth," I scoff, drop my cup on the counter, and stand up. "She thinks I'm just a broke guy playing college football for the scholarship."
Mom shakes her head.
"I saw the way her eyes lit up when you handed her the keys to your car. She looks at you and sees dollar signs."
"I'm not arguing with you about this."
Dad enters the kitchen with an empty punch bowl.
"Es, we're going to need— What's going on?"
