He smiles kindly. "The goal would be for you to see yourself clearly, see you're worthy of Bella—or anyone else you choose."

"I choose Bella," I answer immediately.
"Fine," he answers, placating me with two extended palms. "My point is that it should always be your choice. You don't have to let your subconscious run the show here."
"How do I …fix this?"
"I want you to do some thinking, and come back and see me when you're ready."
"Come back?" I echo miserably. "How long is this going to take?"
"Edward, what did you think? That you were going to walk out of here today all fixed? I'm sorry, buddy, my magic wand is out for repairs."
Funny.
"What about Bella?"
-o-
"What about her?"
"Emmett and Jasper think it might help if I …should I …?"
"Tell her your dirty little secret?"
"Yeah, I mean, no offense or anything."
A small, soundless laugh escapes him. "I'm not offended, Edward."
"God, I'm such an idiot."
"You're fine. This is all just new for you. You're not used to telling your story."
"What's my story?"
"Well, how about that you have a problem and you're willing to work on making yourself better for her?"
"Think that'll help?"
"Would you like her to know she's important to you?"
"Of course!"
"Then yes, it'll help."
A/N: No offense. HA! Thank you for all the thoughtful reviews. XXX ~BOH
