Okay, so I started a new drabble a month and have recently decided not to wait any longer to post. This time we will have two chapters a week, a Bella's on Monday and an Edward on Fridays. This story does have angst, but the reward at the end of this journey will be worth every minute of it… trust me.

Also, if you want to keep up to date with me and all my projects join Massy's Minions on Facebook and for all original work head on over and like Elena M. Reyes author (www. Facebook pages / Elena – M – Reyes / 595337763817997) page ( don't forget to remove the spaces) for news on the release of my first book Ardor. Pssst, it's muy caliente!

Bella's POV

Chapter 1

He's late . . . again, I murmured under my breath while I watched the clock tick on with another minute wasted on waiting for the man I loved with everything I had.

It wasn't supposed to be this way tonight. Plans had been made by both of us weeks in advance, as silly as it sounds, to squeeze in a night with no interruptions or bothersome family members pulling us in separate directions. This special night was supposed to be all about me and him – a chance at talking, sharing, celebrating, and reconnecting once again.

Many times over the last four years I'd wondered about where we went wrong; how our love had fizzled and been reduced to a low simmer everyday of our wedded life. When we were younger we couldn't keep our hands off the other for long periods of time, but now I was lucky to even get a grunt of acknowledgement when he was home.

"Bella, why the hell are you calling me?" Esme – my sister – asked, but the only response I had left in me was a painful wail and the words:

"I'm done."
