Reaching Common Ground

[Edward Cullen]

Edward knew that Bella still had to speak to Charlie, and he didn't need to be Alice to know how that was going to go down.

"Yes, i understand. I am sorry that you have to do this Bella, but it has to be sooner rather than later. When the time comes..it will be less painful for Charlie if you spend a few days with him"

He knew the move was going to happen and that Bella would fight to keep together, but he knew spending time with Charlie would help her, help him. He couldn't fully know everything about him and his family.

[Bella Cullen]

Smiling she reached up and kissed him, thankful he understood her. Lingering against his lips for a few moments more, she backed up and grabbed the keys from the desk. "I'll be back later okay." With that she sped out to the car to go speak with her father and break the news to him. It would hurt her more than she could describe to tell him she was leaving...forever.
