Excerpt

As I walked into the kitchen, my assistant, Alex, and my father both stopped talking.  I looked at them and realized neither of them would meet my eye. 

“OK, you two.  Why do I get the feeling that my day is about to suck?”

They looked at each other.  I could tell that they were each hoping the other would break whatever news it was they were dreading to tell me.  Alex finally decided Dad wasn’t going to cave in.  She grabbed a copy of GOSSIP magazine, threw it at me, and literally ran out of the house!  I looked at the cover.  The headline screamed,

“ROBERT PATTINSON AND KRISTEN STEWART CAUGHT ON CAMERA!”

“Not again!” I steamed.  “Are these people trying to put themselves out of business?  They’ve already had to pay us a million dollars.  She’s his sister-in-law!  When are they going to give it up already!”

I knew that our press agent, Randy, would call me after he had the lab issue the official forensic photographer’s report that the picture was in fact, fake.  When I hadn’t heard from him by lunchtime, I had Alex get him on the phone. 

“Hey, Bella.” 

Bella?  I thought.  He’s never called me, ‘Bella,’ in my entire life.  He’s called me ‘Tink,’ short for ‘Tinker Bell,’ since they day I was born.

“Hello, Mr. Spencer,” I said, to let him know I picked up on his formality.

“Sorry, Tinker Bell, I was, ah, distracted.”

Something in his tone made me very uneasy.

“Randy, cut to the chase.  I’ve known you my entire life, and I know when you are about to tell me something I’m not going to like, so just say it.”

“OK.  Ah…Bella, the picture…”

“Yes, Randy, the fake rag sheet picture on the cover of the magazine with suicidal tendencies.  What about it?”

“Bella…it’s not a fake.”

Bella is ready to leave Seattle and Jake, her ex, behind.  She sets off to Portland to start her intern year at OHSU, with Angela as her only link to Washington.
