"Forty-five today," she says sheepishly. "I feel bad even charging you that. You didn't really even need a cut today and I didn't get to blow you out."

My face feels as hot as hers looks and I slide a twenty from my wallet and fold it twice before pressing it into her hand.

"No, Edward. I can't take your tip today."

"But I took your time."

"It's way too much," she protests.

"Was she… okay?" I'm sorry I rejected you.

He leans in, placing his mouth to my ear. "She's not you," he answers, leaving chills and goose bumps all along my neck.

"Bella, your next appointment is here," Jessica interrupts, the jealous witch.

"Oh, before I go…" Edward starts, disappearing behind the hideous plant and pulling out a beautifully wrapped package. "This is for you. Open it in private," he adds, blushing anew.
