Bella nods thoughtfully, but she doesn't lie back down.

"What about you?" Edward asks carefully.

"I'm good," Bella says automatically, but then she ducks her head a little. "I'm just—are we—? Is this…"

"I can't really answer until there's a question in there," he smiles, but he keeps his tone light to let Bella know he's teasing.

She sighs. "I know. I don't even know what I'm really asking. I just, I want to be sure. About you. About us."

"I know," Edward replies, lifting a hand to stroke along the back of her neck. "And I know you're the expert life coach, but maybe it's time for me to give you a little advice." He rubs his thumb under her jaw. "Because you know all about planning and perfect relationships, but I know a thing or two about following your heart, even when you know it's going to be a crazy ride and you're not sure where you'll end up."

She smiles a little at that, and Edward returns it. "Just trust me, okay? I can't promise you things will be perfect or we'll know exactly what to do, but I can promise you one thing—you can trust me and I love you."

"I do, and I love you, too," Bella says, and she looks a little surprised that she's saying it so easily. But then she grins, and it's that no-holds-barred happy grin that Edward loves so much, and as always, he's helpless not to grin back.

Because they're going to be okay.

They're going to be fine.

He doesn't know exactly how it's going to go, or what he's going to tell his family, or even what they're going to do tomorrow. But he knows he's going to wake up next to Bella, and they'll work it out together, and that's good enough for him…for now because he knows life doesn't go by without a hitch.


Ok Guys! We made it! Woohoo! I know I left this somewhat as a Happy For Now and not a true HEA... But that is because... More likely than not you will be hearing from this crew again.

I hope you enjoyed! I am finishing Adopted Hearts and Kidnapped for Christmas but in the mean time I will be posting Fracture next... It's also pre-written and will post quickly! So keep an eye out for that!

Summary: While trying to enjoy her honeymoon-turned-solo-vacation, Isabella's party for one is literally crashed by a handsome, mysterious stranger who saves her life. Before she knows it, she's thrown into a world of danger; and passion.

Thank you so much for your support, reviews and recs!
