Eye Candy - chapter 275 - Exhausted

Emmett sees us to the door, hugging us in turn. "Seriously, you two, I can't thank you enough. Rose – hell, we– needed this."

Edward murmurs, "You're welcome."

I grin. "Glad you had a good time. Tell Rose I'll call her tomorrow?"

"Will do."

After another round of, Goodnight's, Edward and I walk home. I'm beyond tired, and I know he is, too. Yet I can't help but feel there's more to the minor hunch in his shoulders and the fact he's so quiet.

I take his hand, entwining our fingers as I squeeze. He looks up with a small smile.
