Thank you for the reviews. I'm trying to make the changes as I see suggestions however, I'm a few chapters ahead so it might take a few days before you see any changes.

Enjoy

**B+E**B+E**B+E**

The next morning, I woke to the smell of bacon. I grabbed my robe and walked to the bathroom at the end of the hall. After using the bathroom, I made sure my hair was somewhat presentable before heading down the stairs towards the kitchen. When I walked into the kitchen I found Edward fixing breakfast while he was talking to Alice.

E "Good morning, I'm frying bacon and eggs. Would you like some and how do you like your eggs?"

B "Oh, thank you. I prefer over medium eggs."

E "You're very welcome. Have a seat there's juice on the table. I'll bring the food over to you in a couple of minutes."

I sat across from Alice. Whom was looking at the morning paper.

B "You're here early. I wasn't expecting you until later this afternoon." I said to Alice.

A "Yeah, I needed to ask Edward about some of the guests and I figured we'd go ahead and pick out your outfit." Alice said looking up from the paper.

B "I appreciate your help but I already have a dress to wear."

A "Is it the dress you wore to your parents' funeral?"

B "Yes, there's no need to buy a different dress. It wasn't that long ago when I bought that dress."

A "Bella, you can't wear the same dress. I won't allow it. You and I will go shopping and we will find the perfect dress. We will also find some new items to spruce up your wardrobe. You do realize you're a married woman, so you need to start dressing with a bit more class." My jaw dropped.

B "Excuse me?" E "Alice" Edward and I said at the same time. Looking at her in disbelief. Who says something like that especially when we are dealing with everything from the past day.

A "I don't mean to insult you but you are dressed like you're a teenager and you're preparing to go to class."

B "I am 23 years old and there is nothing wrong with my clothes."

A "Bella, every time I've seen you, you've been wearing jeans and t-shirt."

B "That's because it's comfortable and I'm not at work. I do have nice clothes for work, you know?" I said back in defense.

A "Oh, I'm sure you do but I still think you could use some help. So, after you eat and get dressed you and I will be heading to the mall."

I looked over at Edward who was just shaking his head. I didn't see an out so I just agreed.

E "I'm sorry Bella, but Alice won't stop until you agree."

B I huffed. "Fine, but I want to be back at a decent hour. Michael and I need to have an important conversation."

E "Bella, I'm really sorry about last night. Promise me you'll go easy on him. He's just hurting right now."

B "I'm not promising anything. You aren't going off the deep end and it was your wife."

E "That's because it hasn't exactly hit me yet. Also, my marriage wasn't perfect. I'm not saying I don't miss her but it just doesn't hurt as much as it should."

A "Did I miss something?" I looked up at Alice and I opened my mouth to say something but I didn't feel like talking about it. So, I headed up the stairs.

As I was walking up the stairs I heard Edward say to Alice "It wasn't the best night for Michael and Bella." They went on but I couldn't hear them as I went to get dressed for my day of shopping. Maybe I should annoy Alice and wear sweats for our excursion, I thought to myself.
