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 143. Alla stoccata carries it away.

Edward was dead serious, he was married to the Swan girl, and I worried about the implications of his rash actions on this rapidly deteriorating situation he had unwittingly blundered into.

"Don't you think this vendetta has gone on long enough? We're all family now."

Edward had always played the peacemaker in the family—I remembered many occasions when he would try to mediate between his squabbling siblings—so it didn't surprise me that he was trying to do the same here.

He didn't have all the facts though; I doubted he'd be as accommodating of Swan if he did.
