As if on cue, Bella’s heart began to race the moment she felt Edward’s head against her shoulder, the moment his fingers entwined with her own. It was things like this that she loved and feared – love for the obvious, feared because of the embarrassment she felt from the way her heart pounded. It was years since they had met, and yet at every touch, she still fell head over heels in love.

“A lesson, huh?” Bella whispered out, claiming at least a little bit of her head. She knew better than to speak loudly and attract a nurse’s attention, especially in the position the two were in. A soft sigh escaped her lips, yet soon she was smiling, her head turned off to the side so she could at least catch a small glimpse of his smiling face. “I … guess? There’s nothing else to do … or …” Now, if she had been in the right state of mind she might have realized what he was planning. Get her good at an instrument so he could buy it for her in the future, etc… but alas Now all she cared about was the contact that the two were currently sharing.

“I should have known you would be able to play one of these horrible things …” she joked after a roll of her eyes and a quick view of her tongue – she had stuck it out at him momentarily.
