Beta'd by Ana and Dawn

-9-

His eyes meet hers for the first time, his apprehensive sea green eyes meeting her sincere deep chocolate brown ones. He hesitates for a fraction before reaching for her hand as well. This time he feels the shock-like sensation too, but doesn't pull away. Bella's raised eyebrows tell him that she feels it too.

Their hands remain clasped for a beat longer than necessary before Bella pulls away and sits down on the round, spinning stool.

Edward notices how pretty Bella is, long brown hair pulled into a ponytail, expressive brown eyes, smooth fair skin. From what he can tell through the scrubs she is wearing she is petite, but has curves.
