Edward Cullen/rings
"Couldn't let me have one day. Had to go and top my raccoon ring," Dad grumbles. "Took me an entire roll of quarters to get the fucker out of that machine."
Dad and Charlie have more than sports in common.
They both enjoy bottom-shelf brandy way too much.
"The moment seemed right."
He smiles and waves at Bella when she catches us watching her from across the room.
"When you know, you know," he says cryptically.
I turn to him, but he shrugs.
"We'll talk about this later. For now, I have a future daughter-in-law I need to go embarrass."
Renee pops by and takes Dad's seat.
"Is it too early to start bugging you about grandchildren?"
"Just a little." I smirk.
She sips her wine.
"Damn, that's what she said."
I snort.
"She's happy."
"I strive to make her that way every minute of every day," I tell her.
Renee sighs.
"I couldn't have picked a better man for my daughter if I tried, Edward Cullen."
"I make no promises, but I'll talk to her about the kid thing."
"Yessssss."
