“It’s bad isn’t it?” I asked. I didn’t want to bring it up, it was the last thing I fucking wanted but it just slipped out.
“I almost died Edward…” She mumbled into my chest.
“Christ…” I kissed the top of her head and started rubbing her back furiously, like I could make it go away that way. She didn’t give me much but it was more than she’d told me before. And it scared the shit out of me.
I couldn’t imagine her not being here. Not having her with me. I wouldn’t be able to kiss her or taste her skin or tell her how beautiful she is. I wouldn’t be able to tell her that I love her or feel…anything. I wouldn’t be here now. I wouldn’t be.
