When
he
had
me
settled
,
he
got
in
the
driver
s
seat
and
headed
back
out
the
long
,
narrow
drive
.
"
At
what
point
exactly
are
you
going
to
tell
me
what
s
going
on
?
"
I
asked
grumpily
.
I
really
hated
surprises
.
And
he
knew
that
.
"
I
m
shocked
that
you
haven
t
figured
it
out
yet
.
"
He
threw
a
mocking
smile
in
my
direction
,
and
my
breath
caught
in
my
throat
.
Would
I
ever
get
used
to
his
perfection
?

"
I
did
mention
that
you
looked
very
nice
,
didn
t
I
?
"
I
verified
.
"
Yes
.
"
He
grinned
again
.
I
d
never
seen
him
dress
in
black
before
,
and
,
with
the
contrast
against
his
pale
skin
,
his
beauty
was
absolutely
surreal
.
That
much
I
couldn
t
deny
,
even
if
the
fact
that
he
was
wearing
a
tuxedo
made
me
very
nervous
.
Not
quite
as
nervous
as
the
dress
.
Or
the
shoe
.
Only
one
shoe
,
as
my
other
foot
was
still
securely
encased
in
plaster
.
But
the
stiletto
heel
,
held
on
only
by
satin
ribbons
,
certainly
wasn
t
going
to
help
me
as
I
tried
to
hobble
around
.
"
I
m
not
coming
over
anymore
if
Alice
is
going
to
treat
me
like
Guinea
Pig
Barbie
when
I
do
,
"
I
griped
.

I
d
spent
the
better
part
of
the
day
in
Alice
s
staggeringly
vast
bathroom
,
a
helpless
victim
as
she
played
hairdresser
and
cosmetician
.
Whenever
I
fidgeted
or
complained
,
she
reminded
me
that
she
didn
t
have
any
memories
of
being
human
,
and
asked
me
not
to
ruin
her
vicarious
fun
.
Then
she
d
dressed
me
in
the
most
ridiculous
dress
-
deep
blue
,
frilly
and
off
the
shoulders
,
with
French
tags
I
couldn
t
read
-
a
dress
more
suitable
for
a
runway
than
Forks
.
Nothing
good
could
come
of
our
formal
attire
,
of
that
I
was
sure
.
Unless
.
.
.
but
I
was
afraid
to
put
my
suspicions
into
words
,
even
in
my
own
head
.
I
was
distracted
then
by
the
sound
of
a
phone
ringing
.
Edward
pulled
his
cell
phone
from
a
pocket
inside
his
jacket
,
looking
briefly
at
the
caller
ID
before
answering
.
"
Hello
,
Charlie
,
"
he
said
warily
.
