Chapter 16
Alice stopped and peeked to find who she'd thought: Edward and Tanya. Her investigative nature told her to listen for clues about their relationship, so she kept quiet and her ear alert.
"I just, I don't know. We've let so much time pass by and now I don't know how they will react to all this. Is it too much at the same time?" It was Edward's voice and Alice wondered what he could be talking about.
"Edward, this is your family. Yes, it might be a shock, but they'll get over it."
"What if they don't approve? It's a big step after all." You could tell his nervousness in the tone of his voice.
"You're not getting cold feet now, are you Ed?" Tanya laughed dismissively. Alice peeked again and saw them holding both of their hands. Even if the tone of her voice was dismissive, her body language said that she was reassuring him.
"No. I'm sure of this." He said more confidently.
"Okay, so, let's do this!"
Alice went back three steps of the stairs and kept herself under control. In a matter of seconds they would see her and she couldn't allow herself to get caught.
"Hey Ali, what you up to?" Asked Edward hesitantly when he saw his sister coming up.
"Oh! I just forgot to wear my yellow earrings!" She exclaimed as she ran past them. "See you guys downstairs!"
Edward laughed at his twin; she was always in a hurry.
As soon as the door closed behind her, Alice's gears started turning. What the hell did she just hear?
