Ch 26 Teaser

Hey y'all! I'm trying something new this update. Not only will you be getting the regular teaser but also a clip of me reading it aloud. I thought this might be a fun new way to tease y'all. Tell me what you think!



And the written teaser:

In between it all, Rose’s shit, the book press, the movie announcement, the meetings, the lunches, the endlessly long nights, Bella still waited in that quiet place in my mind. That place where I could go and everything else became smoke curling away in the breeze.

I thought about her smile and the way her eye teeth poked out just beneath her lip. I imagined her nose crinkling when she laughed and how her hair felt twirled around my fingers. I saw the way she rested her chin on her knees when she was lost in thought. I remembered how she’d trail her fingernails down my back when she lay next to me. Naked. In my bed.

I shifted in my seat and clutched the wheel. Rose snored softly and moved against the pillow. I shook my head and looked back to the rain slick road. I couldn’t think about Bella with Rose next to me. I hated associating her with that feeling of day old oatmeal stuck at the bottom of my stomach. Bella should never be attached to guilt. This guilt was independent of her and I refused to let it muck the shit out of her memory.
