Chapter 249

• Washing down the painkillers with some water, I turn my attention to the crispy bacon and enormous breakfast I have in front of me. As I eat, I find my phone, suddenly reminded of some rather embarrassing texts Alice and I sent to Edward. My cheeks heat as I find and browse through our conversation, my mouth dropping at the pictures from the impromptu photoshoot Alice convinced me to do. Edward must think I've lost my mind.
• My heart leaps in my chest as the phone suddenly vibrates with a new message and when I see his name and I feel my chest flood with warmth.
• Good morning, baby! Although I thoroughly enjoyed all your messages and photos last night, I hope you aren't in too much pain this morning. We've just left Port Angeles and every single instinct is urging me to turn around and return to you. Please, help me stay sane by sending me messages and photos throughout the day. I need them. I miss you so much already, babe. Love you… so very much.
