Chapter 33 teaser

“Okay. I’ll just ask Edward…”

“What? Why?” Rose interrupted. “Why do you have to ask Edward? C’mon, Bella, he really has no claim over what you do on your own time.”

“That’s true, but you’re his family…”

She cut me off. “Edward has no say in who I choose to be friends with, Bella. I hope you won’t consider the time we spend together work.”

“Never!” I assured her. She smiled.

“You don’t need Edward’s permission to spend time with your friends, Bella. You can tell him I invited you over, if you really want to, but you don’t need to ask him if it’s okay.”
