Chapter 2
"What?" I shrieked.
"He should be back soon. A little situation came up, and he decided to help Carlisle take care of it."
"Why didn't he tell me?"
"You would have begged to go along, He didn't want to have to deal with that."
"Where did Edward go?"
"Umm, I'm not sure if I should tell you that."
"Why not?"
"He would rather keep you away from other vampires."
"Edward went to Italy, didn't he?" I started to hyperventilate. I couldn't help picturing the black flowing robes, and Edward's expression under Jane's angelic smile.
"Bella, are you okay?" Alice asked, completely avoiding my question. "If you want, I can stay here for the night."
"Alice, please, I'm not that pathetic."
"Do you want to know what we're going to be doing tomorrow?" I groaned. "First, we'll look at different shoes to go with your dress…" She continued babbling, but I tuned her out.
Why would Edward leave me? What was happening in Italy, which he needed to attend to?
"Bella, are you listening to me?" Alice asked.
"I'm sorry, what was the question?"
"Do you have any ideas for your honeymoon?" I internally cringed.
"After the wedding, I'm supposed to be changed."
"Bella, be serious. After people get married, they have honeymoons."
"Edward isn't exactly a person, Alice. He's a vampire."
"He would never tell you this, but he wants to have a honeymoon. I know Edward wants two weeks just alone with you."
I sighed, "Alice, I don't have any plans."
"That's good that somebody is prepared." She handed me a huge stack of papers.
"Alice," I groaned.
