-Edward-
As I placed Renesmee's hand in Jacob's, whispered to me, "Thank you."
That took me bởi surprise. As I took my ghế, chỗ ngồi tiếp theo Bella, she whispered, too low for the surrounding humans to hear, that she was proud of me.

Alice had gone over-the-top with decorations, not that Renesmee minded. She was unlike Bella in that way. When it was my turn to dance with her, she whispered, "You'll still be my dad."
Again with the dramatics.

"This bothers bạn thêm than you're letting on, Edward. Relax, let it go. She'll be fine," Bella said.
"You know me so well," I grinned at her before Emmett claimed her and I was forced to dance with Rosalie.
