"You okay?" Edward asks, squeezing my thigh.
I nod, hoping he'll think my nerves are because of the flight rather than what comes after.
I know Edward's mother means the world to him. And I know he's her only child.
And now I'm the much older man trying to take him away.
I exhale loudly, and Edward's face appears before me with a knowing grin. "Relax, sweetheart. I love you." He kisses my lips lightly and murmurs, "And she will, too."
"Am I that obvious?"
"Maybe a little." He grins and winks, turning to look out at the Chicago skyline.

Kinda knew Jasper would worry a lot about the age thing with Edward's mom
ReplyDeleteI'm nervous for him too hoping it goes smoothly and she doesn't freak out about the whole situation. You know Edward is just trying to find a father figure thing.
