Thankfully, we arrive at the store and I shoot out of the car like a bat out of hell. Edward turns the car off and rushes to join me as I make my way through the store. We talk about Thanksgivings past, family, turkey, parades and football games."This is the first time I've never had Thanksgiving with my mom," Edward quietly states.
He is sad, not because he misses his fucking asshole of a father, but because he misses his mother. I wonder if his father even realizes the impact that his actions have had on his wife.
"Is there anything special that I can fix for you for Thanksgiving? Something that will remind you of home?" I offer.
"Um, stuffing with walnuts and dried cranberries," he mumbles.
"No problem." I reach out and rub on his arm to soothe him. He seems to relax immediately from my touch and sighs.
We finish shopping and load up and head back to my apartment. After two loads up the stairs, rearranging the industrial size refrigerator and an hour later, everything is put away.
Wednesday arrives and I have no classes today, so I decide to sleep in before preparing for tomorrow. Or so I thought.
"Bella!" Alice chirps letting herself into my apartment with her key.
"Yes," I grumble from under my cover.
Alice bounces into my bedroom and plops down on the bed.
"Guess what?"
