By the time the more durable members of the Cullen family had arrived back home, Bella was passed out cold. If Edward had moved her at all during the night, she had no idea, because after Alice had left, she had managed to fall into a dead sleep. She was probably just overly tired from the honeymoon and constant sunshine and fresh air. Either way, sleep had consumed her.
The next morning she had woke, had her human moment, and went down stairs, damp hair still hanging around her face and shoulders. She couldn't be bothered to dry it as straight as a pin, she'd let it go naturally. The kitchen was always stocked with more food than she could eat before it went bad, but what she liked was always there, waiting for her three times a day when she got hungry. She almost couldn't wait until the day they could stop buying so much food for her, even if she would miss some foods. That date was coming soon.
Bella was leaning against the kitchen count, working on finishing a bowl of rice krispies. She assumed people were home, and she knew they knew she was up. The television was turned on, and she was almost positive she could hear Emmett laughing at something. Her brown eyes flicked to the window, and now that she was more awake and alert, she had to wonder how the meeting had gone last night with the pack. Was Alice still worried? Was Maria still going to be allowed to stay or had the pack eaten her? Another reason she wanted to leave her frail body behind, Bella just did not feel comfortable around the southern vampire.
