 Her eyes glowed。 “Is that a yes?” 
 “No! I don’t want to do 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’s not 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; ing from behind me。 I turned to let him have it; but his 
expression was so worried and upset that I couldn’t speak my plaints。 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。” 
She laughed her silvery laugh。 “So; are you going to show me the ring?” 
I grimaced in horror as she grabbed my left hand and then dropped it just as quickly。 
“Huh。 I saw him put it on you。 。 。 。 Did I miss something?” she asked。 She concentrated for half a second; 
furrowing her brow; before she answered her own questions。 “No。 Wedding’s still on。” 
“Bella has issues with jewelry;” Edward explained。 
“What’s one more diamond? Well; I guess the ring has lots of diamonds; but my point is that he’s already 
got one on —” 
“Enough; Alice!” Edward cut her off suddenly。 The way he glared at her 。 。 。 he looked like a vampire 
again。 “We’re in a hurry。” 
“I don’t understand。 What’s that about diamonds?” I asked。 
“We’ll talk about it later;” Alice said。 “Edward is right — you’d better get going。 You’ve got to set a trap 
and make camp before the storm es。” She frowned; and her expression was anxious; almost nervous。 
“Don’t forget your coat; Bella。 It seems 。 。 。 unseasonably cold。” 
“I’ve already got it;” Edward assured her。 
“Have a nice night;” she told us in farewell。 
It was twice as far to the clearing as usual; Edward took a long detour; making sure my scent would be 
nowhere near the trail Jacob would hide later。 He carried me in his arms; the bulky backpack in my usual spot。 
He stopped at the farthest end of the clearing and set me on my feet。 
“All right。 Just walk north for a ways; touching as much as you can。 Alice gave me a clear picture of their 
path; and it won’t take long for us to intersect it。” 
“North?” 
He smiled and pointed out the right direction。 
I wandered into the woods; leaving the clear yellow light of the strangely sunny day in the clearing behind 
me。 Maybe Alice’s blurred sight would be wrong about the snow。 I hoped so。 The sky was mostly clear; 
though the wind whipped furiously through the open spaces。 In the trees it was calmer; but much too cold for 
June — even in a longsleeved shirt with a thick sweater over the top; there were goose bumps on my arms。 I 
walked slowly; trailingmy fingers over anything close enough: the rough tree bark; the wet ferns; the moss 
covered rocks。 
Edward stayed with me; walking a parallel line about twenty yards away。 
“Am I doing this right?” I called。 
“Perfectly。” 
I had an idea。 “Will this help?” I asked as I ran my fingers through my hair and caught a few loose strands。 
I draped them over the ferns。 
“Yes; that does make the trail stronger。 But you don’t need to pull your hair out; Bella。 It will be fine。” 
“I’ve got a few extras I can spare。” 
It was gloomy under the trees; and I wished I could walk closer to Edward and hold his hand。 
I wedged another hair into a broken branch that cut through my path。 
“You don’t need to let Alice have her way; you know;” Edward said。 
“Don’t worry about it; Edward。 I’m not going to leave you at the altar; regardless。” I had a sinking feeling 
that Alice was going to get her way; mostly because she was totally unscrupulous when there was something 

she wanted; and also because I was a sucker for guilt trips。 
 “That’s not what I’m worried about。 I want this to be what you want it to be。” 
 I repressed a sigh。 It would hurt his feelings if I told the truth — that it didn’t really matter; because it was 
all just varying degrees of awful anyway。 
 “Well; even if she does get her way; we can keep it small。 Just us。 Emmett can get a clerical license off the 
Inter。” 
 I giggled。 “That does sound better。” It wouldn’t feel very official if Emmett read the vows; which was a 
plus。 But I’d have a hard time keeping a straight face。 
 “See;” he said with a smile。 “There’s always a promise。” 
 It took a while for me to reach the spot where the newborn army would be certain to cross my trail; but 
Edward never got impatient with my pace。 
 He had to lead a bit more on the way back; to keep me on the same path。 It all looked alike to me。 
 We were almost to the clearing when I fell。 I could see the wide opening ahead; and that’s probably why I 
got too eager and forgot to watch my feet。 I caught myself before my head bashed into the nearest tree; but a 
small branch snapped off under my left hand and gouged into my palm。 
 “Ouch! Oh; fabulous;” I muttered。 
 “Are you all right?” 
 “I’m fine。 Stay where you are。 I’m bleeding。 It will stop in a minute。” 
 He ignored me。 He was right there before I could finish。 
 “I’ve got a first aid kit;” he said; pulling off the backpack。 “I had a feeling I might need it。” 
 “It’s not bad。 I can take care of it — you don’t have to make yourself unfortable。” 
 “I’m
