Not very christmassy. But I'm not in a very christmassy mood. So.

On a brighter note, thanks again for the reviews! :)

I spend far more time at work now than I ever did before. In fact, I often have to be ordered to leave, at the end of my shift. But home is so terribly lonely without the presence that is Edward. There's Esme, of course, and all the rest of them. But Edward—and Bella, for that matter—complete us. We're not whole without them.

I wonder where she is. All of the time. I hope that she's safe, and—if not happy, then at least alive. That's what Edward intended, of course. I doubt that it worked. He is dying without her.

As, I imagine, she is dying without him.

I have so many cures, but I can't seem to find the cure for a broken heart.
