Memories of Christmas Past, Chapter 5 teaser
It had completely baffled and amazed me how fast Alice, Esme, Rose and I had been able to pull together all the details for my and Edward’s wedding. It had only taken us three weeks to pull it all together.
Our first task had been to reserve the View Point Inn and the second had been to find my dress. Alice had said that once those two things were accomplished the rest would fall into place. Of course she had been right and after scouring several online sites, looking through every page of every Bride’s magazine Alice could get her hands on and spending a weekend in Seattle combing every bridal shop there was, we had done it. I had my dress and had known it was the one the instant I’d seen it.
There had been a few bittersweet moments along the way though. We had all gone to Seattle on the excursion to find my gown and the bridesmaid dresses. While Alice, Rose, Esme and me had gone shopping for the gowns, the men had gotten fitted for their tuxes and had gone to the college football game at U-Dub. But when Alice and Esme talked about some of the experiences they’d had while shopping for Alice’s wedding gown, I couldn’t help wishing things were different between my mother and me. I couldn’t help thinking that she should be there with me, helping me choose my dress and taking part in all of the planning of my wedding. And I couldn’t help but wish that I could at least know that she was happy for Edward and me.
For the most part I had not let what she’d done interfere at all in my life. I was so very, very happy with Edward and I loved him so much.
However there were just times like now, when I was contemplating on whether or not I should send her an invitation that I couldn’t deny how much it hurt. She was my mother and was supposed to be happy for me.

Memories of Christmas Past, Chapter 4 teaser
Before I’d even had a chance to turn off my truck, Bella was jumping out as soon as it had come to a stop in the driveway. There was a big moving truck with a ramp leading from the back of it to the porch for easy loading.
Bella in her anger marched right up to the two guys who were loading a big piece of furniture onto the truck. “You can stop right where you are with that and don’t you remove another thing from that house until I say so.”
The man replied, “Ma’am, I’m sorry but I was hired by the owner of the home to empty this place out.”
“Well, Chad,” Bella said as she poked the name patch sewn onto the front of his shirt. “That’s impossible because I am the owner.”
I wanted to laugh at the look of pure confusion that spread across the guy’s face. He looked like he was about to shit his pants. And Bella…well…she was furious. She reminded me of the kitten Alice had had when we were kids. Every time it got spooked or irritated its back would arch and its tail fur would poof out and look like it had been electrocuted.
However Chad being much taller than Bella must have thought he could manhandle her and grabbed her arm as if he were going to pull her out of his way.
No one touches my girl but me. I was instantly at Bella’s side and had Chad’s other arm in my hand and twisted up behind his back.
“Take your hand off the lady now. That is unless you want this arm broken,” I ordered him while giving his arm another small twist.
“Hey, John, you need to call the cops. We got a situation out here,” Chad called.
