We follow Esme into the dining room, finding Carlisle sitting in his usual spot, flanked on each side by Jasper and Alice.

“Bella!” Carlisle exclaims. “How was your trip?”

“It was wonderful. Thanks for asking.” I move around the table.

Alice gets up and gives me a hug. “We missed you, but can’t wait for the details. Have a seat.” She points to the chair next to her.

I hear someone coming in the front door, and we all turn to see who it is. When I realize it’s Emmett, I glance at Edward and see we’re equally surprised.
