Bella nodded her head and found she couldn't look at him while they talked. "It was for a selfish reason," she said. "You were right really. Because I was missing you and you weren't mine anymore. I like the attention you gave me...I missed it." She shook her head. "But I know that's not right. Not fair at all. And you were right about that too. I take you for granted and except you to always be there for me."
She closed her eyes and leaned back into him, enjoying the feel of his lips against her fingers. Why couldn't things be simple like this? Of course, she wasn't thinking about Edward either.
