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.

259. Chapter 257

Dinner is a quiet affair.

But that doesn't necessarily mean that it wasn't loaded.

With knowing glances from Esme between Edward and me, and Carlisle's radiant smile, I'd say something's going on.

It is almost as if she knows.

But how could she?

Wine is offered, and of course, I would normally have a drink but I obviously stick to the water.

Esme notices this with a little smile and Carlisle just looks at his wife, smirking.

Something is definitely going on.

I barely touch dinner, too nervous to contemplate eating. Edward eventually has to beg me – with his eyes – to get me to have a little.

And then dinner is done and Carlisle clears the table, leaving Edward and me with Esme.

"So," she says, taking a sip of her wine. "Carlisle told me you had something to announce."

I glance at Edward, and he nods.

Breathe.

Here's another... may be the last for the night.

I'm glad that your all glad that I'm back! Don't worry about Bella's worrying, it's nothing... just the nerves, I'd imagine.

:D
