“If you really, truly love me, Bella.” I folded my arms across my chest. “That isso unfair. And Edward kind of already used that one on me.” “I’ll bet Edward would like it better if you did this traditionally, though he’d never tell you that. And Esme — think what it would mean to her!” I groaned. “I’d rather face the newborns alone.” “I’ll owe you for a decade.” “You’d owe me for a century!” Her eyes glowed. “Is that a yes?” “No! I don’t want todo this!” “You won’t have to do anything but walk a few yards and then repeat after the minister.” “Ugh! Ugh, ugh!” “Please?” She started bouncing in place. “Please, please, please, please, please?” “I’ll never, never ever forgive you for this, Alice.” “Yay!” she squealed, clapping her hands together. “That’snot a yes!” “But it will be,” she sang. “Edward!” I yelled, stalking out of the garage. “I know you’re listening. Get over here.” Alice was right behind me, still clapping. “Thanks so much, Alice,” Edward said acidly, coming from behind me. I turned to let him have it, but his expression was so worried and upset that I couldn’t speak my complaints. I threw my arms around him instead, hiding my face, just in case the angry moisture in my eyes made it look like I was crying. “Vegas,” Edward promised in my ear. “Not a chance,” Alice gloated. “Bella would never do that to me. You know, Edward, as a brother, you are sometimes a disappointment.” “Don’t be mean,” I grumbled at her. “He’s trying to make me happy, unlike you.” “I’m trying to make you happy, too, Bella. It’s just that I know better what will make you happy . . . in the long run. You’ll thank me for this. Maybe not for fifty years, but definitely someday.” “I never thought I’d see the day where I’d be willing to take a bet against you, Alice, but it has arrived.”
