Chapter Fourty-Three
Bella whistled happily to herself as she walked down the street.
She and Edward were back in their home town and she had been spending most days – and nights – at his place. Their first film had premiered and now they had some down time to continue to get to know each other.
Edward had left her asleep in his bed early in the morning and when she woke, she had found a note.
Beautiful,
Spend a few more hours in bed. Relax, rest, unwind.
I have big plans for you tonight and you'll need to be on your game.
This afternoon, I'd like you to pamper yourself. Go to a spa, buy a new dress.
And tonight, I'll be waiting at Chequers for you. 8pm. Don't be late.
I love you, Miss Swan.
Edward.
She'd spent the entire day away from him and now, her heart was in her mouth, pounding out with need for him. She had no clue what his plans were, but she was excited just to see him.
A van pulled alongside her and she barely glanced at it as it came to a halt. She'd later wish that she'd paid more attention.
A cloth covered her mouth, a sweet smell infiltrating her nose as she inhaled. She began to feel woozy before her hearing became distorted.
And then she was falling and arms were catching her.
Next… Black. Nothing but blackness.
