Good job twifanmom, for figuring out where Bella was headed!

My purchase was nestled safely in the backseat, sticking her head out the window.
Her tongue lolled out and I could swear she was smiling.
As I slowed down to wait for the gate to open, she let out a delighted bark to the couple passing by on their roller blades.
An honest smile lit upon my face as I touched my foot to the gas pedal.
Carlisle could have his 'business meetings' and 'long days'.
I'd just found myself a new companion.
One that would give me an actual reason to get up each morning.
One that was going to give me an excuse to explore the beach.
And maybe have something in common should I bump into a certain green-eyed God.
I pulled into the garage, turned everything off and got out.
"Come on Leah, let's go girl," I coaxed the silky furred, pale retriever I'd just rescued from the pound to hop out of the car.
We didn't bother going inside.
I headed straight for the beach.
