Chapter 169. To occupy the argument no longer.

Edward!

Bella's fraught mind gained startling clarity once Mrs. Cope had practically forced breakfast into her charge.

Edward was in danger. She was almost certain her mother had no idea of his identity or things would have been much worse last night…much worse. However, he would be coming to check on her, she was sure of it. They'd had plans to Skype and he'd have been worried when he couldn't contact her.

Her heart clenched. What if he'd already tried? No…no. If he'd been caught, she'd have heard about it already.

"Mrs. Cope, you must get a message to Edward."
