Esme has made me promise not to kill myself this week. I don't think that's fair at all, but she has been kind to me and is soft hearted. I do not wish to make her melancholy, so I have begrudgingly capitulated to her request to perseverate for a few more ghastly days.

She stroked my hair as I curled in her lap and told her about how beastly Rosalie, Emmett, Jasper and Alice have been to me, hissing between my sobs. It had been many years since anyone at all touched me besides Emmett wrestling or goosing me. I had forgotten how nice it felt.

Afterwards, I spoke of Bella and Esme said that she sounds very special and she's lucky to have captured the heart of such a devoted and sensitive soul as myself.

I still feel very gloomy, but it did please me so to converse with Esme about Bella. Perhaps she can give me the female perspective on courtship and help me strategise how to win Bella's heart. I know nothing of needlepoint or midwifery, but I trust Esme keeps abreast of these matters.

Esme is always somewhat overly sentimental and dewy-eyed, blithely overlooking the vicious traits of my fellow adoptees. She has always been warm hearted to a fault. However, she has proven herself to be pa rare comfort of late and a port in the storm. She is my mother and my best friend. I think I shall bring her some flowers from the meadow.


A/N: Please leave a review! Edward is a mummy's boy. What would Esme say if she found out how deep his obsession really ran?
