Thanks be to Ms. EBT.
I can't stop crying or shaking.
I can't even imagine how Esme, Carlisle, and Alice must be.
I see Bella a few rows ahead, but her head's bowed.
You can hear people in the church crying as Victoria walks down the steps and over to Carlisle and Esme.
"I'm so sorry," she says, crying.
She takes Carlisle's hand to shake and breaks down sobbing.
Immediately, Esme's out of her seat and brings her in for a hug, shushing Victoria and stroking her hair.
Alice reaches up and touches her elbow, then pulls her to sit down as Esme comforts her.
Dad continues the service with a shake in his voice.
