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.

349. Chapter 347

I frown in confusion.

"Um," I say, my brain obviously unable to function for the moment. I briefly wonder if this is what they mean about baby brain. "What?"

Edward chuckles softly and the crooked smile leaves me… well, breathless amongst other things.

"I said," he says, "I wanna show you something." He looks up at me, "relax baby. I need your ring to show you."

I bite my lip, but open my hand out, letting him take it off.

He holds it with such a reverence that this something is special. And then, he turns it on an angle for me to be able to see the inside.

"Bella," he says. "Look."

I do and I gasp, tears welling.

Because his ring… my ring… is engraved.

I'll always be your Hoody.

And suddenly, I'm taking off his ring, too.

Hands up... figuratively... how many of you actually remembered her talking about getting his ring engraved and Alice smiled making her think Edward was doing the same thing?
