Tonight the garbage was put out again at the Swan residence. My haul consists of Bella's old toothbrush, a grocery list in her delicate hand and, best of all, a ball of strawberry scented hair which she must have cleared from her hairbrush. The scent is quite pungent and absolutely intoxicating. I wonder if, over time, I would be able to gather enough for a small pillow. That really would be the stuff of dreams!
I have plans for a small reliquary in my closet, where I can quietly reflect on Bella and my love for her in private reverence. As my love grows, so does my collection of mementos and I find they need a fitting home.
School vacations would mean I could sequester myself in spiritual contemplation on my love, rather than suffer the constant indignities of life with my four pea-brained siblings. It would be infinitely preferable.
I shall go to Seattle this weekend to purchase some gold leaf and gilding size, as well as other supplies for my secret shrine. I feel this is a most excellent plan!
A/N: Please leave a review! Edward's squeamishness makes no appearance when faced with Bella's scent. I guess it brings out his animal side. Will he manage to build his shrine? Should he?
