Christmas to Remember teaser: Chapter 12

“Edward, what time does your flight leave?” Alice asked, knowing that he was the only one flying alone. Since Bella, Alice, Rose, Jasper, and Emmett were all returning to Seattle, they were all flying together unlike the flight to Tahoe. Edward, of course, was heading back to Chicago to begin his second semester in med school.

“10:45,” he replied, his voice constricting at the thought of being separated from Bella.

“Well, our flight leaves at 11:10, so we might as well go to the airport together,” Alice suggested, bouncing happily in her seat.

Bella was quiet, trying to ignore the happy pixie as she concentrated on her meal. It seemed to her that Edward answered without any hesitation. She sighed inwardly as she took a bite of her chicken sandwich. He’s just ready to go on with his life, she thought dejectedly. Like he never met me at all.

She knew she was starting to sound all emo and feeling sorry for herself, but she also could not help the tears that prickled her eyes. Tossing the napkin on the table, she excused herself to go to the restroom, with a glare towards her two girl friends warning them not to follow her. She believed there was no reason to get them involved in the dilemma she found herself in. Besides, she already knew Rose’s and Alice’s opinions on the subject.

A Christmas to Remember Update...

I would like to say that I almost ready to post the next chapter (which is also the last, coincidentally), but I am not. I have started it at least, so hopefully within a week it will be posted.

By the way, it is interesting to see how many people assume there will be a happy ending...
