'“Bree, I'm sure you heard all of that.  Unfortunately, the treaty prevents us from telling you more than I already have.”        “But didn't that Sam guy say I was covered by the treaty while I'm with you?”  I knew I had him.'        Heheh!  Indeed.  And finally she got some answers.  I admit I forgot the part of the treaty where the Cullens have to keep the Quileute's secret too.  Now I understand why was Carlisle being so evasive.  Good eye for details, you.        :)

  'Esme approached me slowly with a sad smile on her kind features.  “I'm so pleased to have met you, Bree.  If you don't find Fred, please come back and stay with us until you know what you want to do.  You would be most welcome.”        I nodded.  Looking at the warmth in her eyes, I was tempted yet again to stay.'        Esme and her big heart.  Hard to resist.        ^_^

  And so they are going to see Fred.  Well, Alice seems sure he won't run away, if I understood correctly.  I wonder if these two will leave on their own, of accept the Cullen's invitation...        :-/

Author's Response:

I am tyring to keep this as canon as possible.  Apart from the fact that Bree is alive of course.  There will be a brief Fred POV in the next chapter.
