Chapter 14
EPOV
The deposition goes as we figured. They are lying, but we can't prove it. I "disturb the peace", therefore I should move.
Jasper and I decide to lay low and see how things unfold, but I am to keep my eyes and ears open regarding the adjacent property. If we could catch them in a lie, their lawsuit may just go away. I also have to be extremely careful. Neither Jaz, nor I have a good feeling about Victoria and her associates.
I have more personal reasons for having bad feelings about Victoria.
Days pass and no response to my Craigslist ad. In the days after placing the ad I would race to my computer or check my phone obsessively. Now I'm resigned to the fact that she may not see the ad or if she does she may not answer. I try to push down the feeling of disappointment, because it's silly. This was a long shot to begin with.
The question is, do I feel less guilty about her? I honestly don't know. No weight has been magically lifted off my chest, that's for sure.
I can still smell her. It makes me uneasy; like I'm missing something. This is the most ridiculous situation I have ever been involved in.
I can't help but feel a bit like a voyeur, for taking the photos, and an internet stalker, for trying to find her. None of which I am, but she doesn't know that. I just need to focus on other things.
The Fourth of July Gala is this weekend. It's a family event and I plan on taking Jasper as my "date". Since he met Alice he's even more eager to go. They haven't officially gone out yet. He confided to me that he wants to see Alice in a group one more time before asking her out. Without getting too graphic he explained the intense connection he felt towards her. He wants to make sure it's not a fluke or one sided before he pursues her further. His past failed relationships makes him understandably cautious. He asks me not to mention it to Alice. I know this will be hard so I've been avoiding her since the dinner at my parents.
Just when I think she's out of my head I get an email from her. She responds exactly like I thought she would. She's very to the point, almost rude; just like I remember her. She doesn't give me her name, actually no personal information at all, but she lets me send her some of my photos.
When the emails end I feel let-down. I didn't learn much about her. She has my photos, and my email address, and I have hers. It isn't a lot, but it's more than I had this morning.

Anyone feeling bad for Edward?
The emails have stopped. How do you think they will hook up next?
Thanks for reading and reviewing :)
BD2... EPIC! See it as soon as you can and don't talk to anyone about it until you do. Trust me :)
