Jessica owns a daycare. She loves children.
Esme already knows a bit about Jessica from her aunt, but when Emmett asks her to tell us about herself, it's like a floodgate opens up.
Jessica likes to run every morning and fits in Yoga when she can.
When she tells me that some weekends she volunteers at the Humane Society by taking dogs on walks, I want to puke.
Luckily, the Jessica talk is finished when Carlisle all suggests we go back to the living room to have drinks and dessert.
After pecan pie and more eggnog, I'm feeling pretty good.
By good, I mean pretty buzzed.
The eggnog to rum ratio is pretty low and since I've never really drank before, the effects go into place fairly quickly.
A warm glow settles over me and lasts until Edward announces he's going to head out and Jessica stands up to leave with him.
Carlisle and Esme hug her goodbye.
They approve of her for Edward. Of course.
Even I had a hard time finding faults in her when she was telling us about herself.
After another piece of pecan pie, Emmett hugs his dad and kisses his mom on the cheek. He tries to hug Rosalie, but she crosses her arms and remains stiff in his embrace.
I feel awkward when Emmett hugs me. Even more awkward when he not so secretly passes me his number on a little piece of paper.
"Classy, Em. Real classy," Rosalie scoffs.
We leave right after Emmett does. Esme hugs me and hands me a paper bag of leftovers for me to take home.
I plan on taking a cab back to my place, but Rosalie insists on driving me.
In my buzzed state, I pinky promise to go over to her place for a girls night in two days.
When I get home, I'm just awake enough to put the food in the fridge and take off my shoes before I pass out on the bed.
Thanks for all the reviews! See you guys later.
