"What are you doing here Swan?" Edward asks when he opens his door.

His face is blank, unreadable.

"Can I come in?"

He pulls the door open fully, silently inviting me in.

I walk into his living room,

It's my turn to pace.

He's just watching me.

"Are you alone? Is…., the blonde here?"

He looks disappointed.

"Did you come here just to ask me that?"

"No, I didn't,"

That's not why I came.

"But…," I don't want to do this if she's here.

"She's not here Bella."

And I'm so relieved,

Because I know that this is my chance.
