Alice Whitlock (Cullen) has accepted your friend request.
I browse through her timeline and then skim through the photos that she has up. Finding her wedding albums, I browse through the photographs unable to stop the smile on my face. Jasper and Alice look so in love in these pictures. Family photos show the support that they had surrounding them on that day. Esme looks beautiful in her gown and Carlisle is handsome as ever. Continuing my search, a few of the formal pictures include Edward with the family.
There's a picture of three couples dancing on the floor. In the center are Alice and Jasper, locked in a gaze almost unaware of their surroundings. To one side is a couple that I don't recognize so assume must be Jasper's parents. On the other side of the photograph are Esme and Carlisle looking at each other much the same as the newlyweds.
Continuing to click through the pictures, I find one of Edward with the redhead who approached him the other night. They are sitting together at a table, so perhaps she was his date. The stalker in me sees that the picture is tagged and I can't resist. So the redhead has a name, Victoria. Temptation pulls me in and I carefully click on her profile, terrified that I accidently click on a like or request that will give my stalking away. Unfortunately her profile is private other than her profile picture, which is a single shot of her looking just as perfect as the night I met her.
I click back to Alice's profile, sending a friend request to Jasper as well. Wondering if Edward has a profile, I search through her list of friends. He does but of course his is private as well. Hmm, to send a request or not? I haven't seen or talked with him since the night I slept over, but I know he's been busy with the farm. I've been busy myself with work and developing some new lesson plans for Joseph and Millie.
I hover over the 'add as friend' button before deciding I have nothing to lose. We are friends after all.
I'm back to Alice's friend list wondering if there's anyone else from the book club on here that I could connect with. Scrolling through the names there is another one that sticks out to me, Tanya. That was the girl Alice had mentioned the other night. Since I already gave myself over to stalking I might as well fully commit and click on her profile.
Finally, someone with nothing to hide. Tanya must be a model, although I doubt many modeling gigs happen on the island. Her profile picture looks like a headshot you'd send a casting director. Long blonde hair, bright blue eyes…the opposite of me in every way. There are lots of posts on her wall each time she throws up a new picture of herself, which seems to be pretty often. There are selfies from every angle and I can't help but laugh at a few duckface pictures.
I don't know why I'm being so petty about this. It seemed like Edward was avoiding these girls the other night so why am I being so insecure? Stopping myself before I get any deeper I move back to my own profile.
There are a few comments from friends back home asking about the move and a long list of people wishing me a happy birthday. I begin to update my profile.
Current city: Argyle Shore, PEI
Update Status: Thanks for all the birthday wishes last week! Can't believe I've already been here for a month. Loving every minute of it!
It doesn't long before a few comments pop up along with some likes.
Alice Whitlock (Cullen): Bella Swan I can't believe you didn't mention it was your birthday! Just wait until I tell Momma Esme about that.
