Eye Candy - chapter 315 - Anxious

Edward's fidgeting in his seat, his knee bouncing nervously. He straightens the condiments on the table again and again.

I rest my hand on his knee, squeezing it in reassurance. He glances at me, smiling timidly, and mutters, "Sorry."

Leaning in, I kiss him briefly. "Relax, sweetheart. Just be yourself."

He nods.

The words are easy enough to say, but inside my heart's hammering so loud that I fear he'll hear it and call my bluff. I'm just as anxious for this meeting as he is.

Much sooner than we'd expected, we're face to face with our would-be baby's mother.
