Edward lifted his head, pulling the hood down once more. "Somewhere shaded would be nice," he suggested, ignoring her comment about dark alleyways. He didn't want to be reminded of the last time she had tried that particular stunt. "Secluded." At the added word, he focused his attention to Bella's face, giving one of his wide grins that reached his eyes. "That is, if you're willing to let me drag you along with me." He raised his eyebrows with suggestion.

After the last night he remembered from before he'd arrived in Landel's, the vampire couldn't help but crave a few more nights alone with his fiancé - an event that rarely happened, and one he very much enjoyed. Best try as much as he could to repeat the event.

His gaze didn't shift from Bella's face as the bus lurched forward, a scenery of browning grass and reddening leaves passing by in a blur. A change of background was very welcomed; Edward was already tired of the monochromatic building after one simple day.
