Splendour Mine

A/N:

In this story the character names belong to Stephenie Meyer but the chapter titles come from William Shakespeare's epic tale, Romeo & Juliet. The slash is all my idea.

Chapter 102. A gentleman of the very first house.

-Jasper-

As my father looked to me, I could see his disappointment that we'd obviously known Edward had been sneaking out, but done nothing to stop him. And he was right; all of us were older and should have been wiser. We had let our own distractions cloud what should always have been our first priority—our responsibility to the family.

It was time to face the music.

"Dad…" I started speaking but was interrupted by Carlisle's personal assistant.

"Mr. Cullen, the security chief for the Crown Prince of Spain returning your call."

"Find Edward," my father said, then walked out.

End Note:

Posted a little later in the day than planned - all that Christmas cheer plum tuckered me out and I must have dozed off for a bit in front of the TV. Hope you are all having a lovely Christmas Day (or had one if you hail from Australia as I do). Hope you liked your little pressie.

Merry Christmas.
