I look up again at Carlisle, "So no. I don't want to see him and I don't need to. I wasted enough time and I've felt enough pain because of that man. I don't need to feel any more."

Carlisle looks at me, then at Edward. Edward's frowning and he shakes his head, as if knowing what his father will say now. And then his frown deepens with disapproval when Carlisle raises an eyebrow and opens his mouth.

"That's what I'm saying, Bella." He says and I raise my eyebrow at him. "You need closure so that you can truly move on. Let me tell you, Bella, life and death situations will clear up a man and his conscience is all he has left."

I snort. "There's just one problem with that theory."

"Yes?"

"Charlie Swan doesn't have a conscience."


Yep, that's right. He doesn't!

Now, I've pre-written to 344 for now and it's looking pretty emotional, I must say. :D
