Chapter 42 (- EPOV-Confounded Cullen-)

Bella had left without saying goodbye.

This woman that has taken me by storm has left me aching for more.

The next few days I struggle with confusion, I've stopped by the diner to find out that Alice has up and left, I've stopped by the apartment several times to try to catch her home.

I don't understand why she left or why she is ignoring my attempts to make contact. I thought she had felt that overpowering connection as well.

I decide to get back to work, the merger has been gone through and a lot needs to be done, besides, work will keep my mind occupied.

It's up to Bella to make the next move.
