So this doesn't take place in the actual timeframe of An Unfortunate Twist of Fate, but it is about Elizabeth, so I thought I would post it. This Elizabeth's thought about Edward's and Bella's engagement in Eclipse. Kind of sappy ( : also really short…obviously. But it was in my head and I had to let it out.
Elizabeth's POV:
I wished Bella would come to her senses. It was obvious my son would wait as long as she needed, but anyone could see he was getting restless.
And then there were these silly conditions. I couldn't help but feel proud that Edward was doing the honorable thing in wedding the girl before . . . giving her what she wanted.
Though, in a way, I pitied him. I knew Bella was right; I just wished my stubborn son would believe her. In the few short months I had seen them together, I could tell they were made for each other. They dealt with the ups and downs better than most adult couples, and you could always see the love shining through them.
When my husband proposed, I didn't hesitate. We both knew what we wanted. But now the times had changed. We didn't have to give up anything. Bella is losing everything. And it takes Edward everything to let her.
But they'll make it. I know they will.
