Chapter 19
Slowly, Bella reached for Edward's hand, grasping it gently. She struggled with a way of sharing color with him. How could she describe it to him? How could you paint color so that someone could understand it?
She thought back to an assembly that her high school held when she was a freshman. It was more of a concert than an assembly, inviting students from a school for the deaf.
The drama department had turned the speakers towards the floor with the bass as high as it would go. They had also hung lights around the stage controlled by computer. When the music had started, the lights flashed to the beat of the music, creating a light show no one expected. The students had stomped, clapped, and yelled at the end to show their appreciation. But the memory still didn't shed any light on how she could explain color.
Edward watched her, amused, while her thoughts shifted. From the look on her face, it was easy to tell she was struggling with something but Edward couldn't read her thoughts. In his nervousness, he squeezed her hand.
She didn't know what she was doing, but it her hand in his felt so right. She looked at the fire and then at their hands. If yellow could be explained in action, was this what it would feel like? The sun was yellow, and she loved how the sun felt when she laid outside on the grass. It was warmth, and in her mind, comforting just like the fire.
"Friendship and warmth is yellow," she spoke quietly, looking between Edward and the fire.
Edward looked too, shocked that she was holding his hand. It was warm, and it felt nice having her small hand in his. He soaked in her words, trying to connect the points she was trying to explain. He smiled because she was, in fact, trying to explain color instead of making him feel like a freak.
