As I ate in silents Alice continued chatting with Charlie and I pretended to listen. She was telling him where she had been (a lie of course but he asked). Charlie offered her food but she told him that she ate before she got here. We finished and Alice and I headed upstairs and we both told Charlie goodnight.

"So back to uhh..." she stopped for a moment. Probably to make sure that I would be okay, "Tony."
"What?"
"Are you clear about what you are allowed to tell him and not?"
"I guess." I frowned. I felt for some reason I could trust him, "But I'm doing it for you Esme, Emmett, Jasper, and Carlise. And that is it. I care about you guys and you should not have to suffer from," I paused, "him..." I whispered it for even the word him would upset me.
"Completely understood."
"Good."
"So where is you nail polish?" Our conversation carried on as she painted my nails a candy apple red with perfection. I eventually fell asleep though.
