Right this one's a bit longer than the last few.
Esme was in a bit of a state, she was so scared Carlisle would leave her and no one could calm her.
They could say he wouldn't leave til they were blue in the face it didn't make any different.
Esme couldn't imagine life with out Carlisle and Alice didn't see one.
Maybe that was because Esme wouldn't live after Carlisle left her. She knew that none of her family would destroy her.
But maybe the Volturi would.
Would Aro see it as Carlisle had been bewitched in some way and kill Leah?
That would be the type of thing the Volturi would do. Aro liked Carlisle to much to have him killed.
On Carlisle's last birthday which Carlisle had tried his best to forget and ignore. Aro had sent him a gift of some of the finest collections of Artefacts.
There had been nine in all.
But if Carlisle was right then there were rooms and rooms of this type of stuff and still he couldn't get over the fact that not only had he been given the gifts they were also among the best Aro had.
Esme looked down and held the large diamond in her thumb and forefinger.
It was the size of a £2 coin, it was set in almost pure gold-which would crush far to easily-with 5p sized rubies around the outside.
Carlisle had also given her a heart-shaped ruby pendant, which she liked very much but couldn't bring herself to wear, now that she knew he might go off with Leah.
She loved him dearly and would forgive him anything, but she wanted to know if she'd get to be with him after Leah had told him.
Esme's almost perfect world was falling to pieces and there was nothing she could do about it.
