"Go say 'Hello.'"

"I can't just say 'Hello.' She doesn't know me."

"That's why I said say 'Hello,' not 'Hey, I've loved you for three years.'" Garrett shoves my shoulder, and I stumble forward toward the desk clerk–the beautiful brunette with the shy eyes that speak to me.

"Ahem." Awkward staring. Eyelashes fluttering. "Hi. I'm Edward. You're Bella."

"Uh huh."

"I've been coming here a long time, and I thought, maybe, if you want, we could, um—"

"Yes, definitely."

"Yeah?"

"Yes."

I amble to Garrett.

"Where are you gonna go?"

"No idea, but she's willing."

"Man, you're pathetic."
