I walked towards the study in our home looking for my Bella. She was no where to be found, and it was frustrating that I didn't know where she was. I had run up to Carlisle and Esme's house, no one was there. Rosalie and Emmett's was as dark as night. No one was around, and it was becoming quite worrisome. As I entered the study, lined with endless amounts of books, magazines and computer related things, I noticed the desk lamp was on. My curiosity got the better of me, and I looked at the envelope that was placed neatly on the desk, Bella's unique handwriting had put my name on the outside.

Panic set in.

I unfolded the pages quickly and began to read.

Edward,

I can only imagine your frame of mind right now, and don't worry. I am never going to leave you. We had our first fight last night, and while I was outside, after hunting, I realized that I needed to do this for you, my love. I have arranged for a night trip for everyone so that you can read this letter in silence. Again, I'm not leaving. However, you cannot for some reason read my thoughts unless I specifically grant you access. You told me that, even before we were serious about each other that it was frustrating for you and you wished that you would be able to know what I was thinking. So, I've decided to write my thoughts down for you.

I don't know the tone of how this letter will go, and some things I write may upset you; not because that's how I want you to feel of course. That's the last way I would want you to feel – ever. All I ever want is for you to be happy, and it thrills me to no end to know that I play a small role in your happiness.

Some, and I hope most of the things I write will re-assure you of how very much I love you, and despite my initial reservations about marriage (not just to you but the concept in general), how overjoyed I am to be your wife.

You are the love of my life, Edward.

My one and only, my true love, and my soul's mate.

I love you… forever and a day.
