How to Save a Life

by bexie25

Step one you say we need to talk, he walks you say sit down, it's just a talk. He smiles politely back at you. You stare politely right on through. Meeting on a bus, Edward and Bella are immediately attracted to each other but their gloomy, abuse-ridden pasts make them both hesitant to trust anyone. Follow them as Bella learns not only how to save a life, but hers is saved as well.

178. Chapter 177

Carlisle ends his first speech with a joke and soon, dinner is served.

It's a lovely, sophisticated dinner, topped by the music and light banter that's passed around the table. The tension between the Masen's the Cullen's and Edward and me is practically invisible to the others on the table.

Everyone's relaxed to the point that they don't care what they say.

I look to Carlisle as dessert comes out. He smiles and shakes his head, nodding inconspicuously to the Masen's.

I glance over and am only semi-shocked to see that Edward Senior is getting fucking plastered.

But that's where I understand.

There's a reason why they call alcohol 'truth syrup'.
