Just a little filler chapter, really... I'm trying to follow the storyline, but it doesn't get interesting for a while, so I;ve added in my own mini sub-plots. I hope you don't mind too much!! :)
Just in case you don't recognise this particular scene, it's in the hospital, when Bella demands to talk to Edward. She asks him why he bothered to save her life, and he answers with 'I don't know', which she misinterprets. His real meaning is detailed in Midnight Sun. Actually, a lot of stuff is detailed in Midnight Sun... Read it! It's amazing.
Angelic—Overtime Angel
Devyne watched once more in frustration, as the vampire and the human girl argued again. She knew more than he wanted her to, and he would lie to protect his family, even if that meant alienating Bella. Ugh! His loyalty could be irritating. She knew his motivations, and she respected them. Edward would come around… he had to.
She sat back in her chair, eyes still fixed on the image before, massaging her temples. This project really wasn't good for her. She'd been positively abandoning her home life, in order to keep this odd relationship from straying off the path she had drawn for them, and often, it seemed her efforts were entirely in vain! Curling her slim legs beneath her, she watched, a frown furrowing her forehead, as Bella tried to get an explanation form Edward.
Oh, but this morning had been so stressful. Destinee and Faite had even taken the evening off, to recover. Devyne might have done the same, except that she was loath to leave these two to their own devices.
Their parting words had Devyne almost as upset as Bella was.
"Why did you even bother?"
"I don't know…"
Idiot! Now, she thought that he still wanted her dead, even though what he really wanted was to keep her firmly alive, and with him.
Pinching the bridge of her nose, she calmed herself. And then she pulled out her tiny black phone. She had a call to make.
