Carlisle Cullen: sighs Do you remember tonight's family dinner? Everyone will be there.
I haven’t been to one since before I was turned.. she said
"Yes, it has been quite some time." Carlisle says quietly as he looks over at you, noticing the concern on your face.
"Please don't worry," he adds, giving you a reassuring smile. "The others are all very excited to meet you."
"yes i do.. but im not sure if i should go.." she said looking down
he tilted his head slightly and placed a hand on her shoulder
"Is something troubling you? You don't have to attend if you're not feeling up to it, but I'll understand if you'd like to join us."
nods Yes, I remember. Should I wear something formal?
smiles gently Yes, please. The others will appreciate it. And we should also prepare for any questions they might have.
I shake my head no I don’t think I can go today
looks at you with concern Why not? You need to eat and socialize.
oh I forgot I say as I put my book down
smiles That's alright, it happens. We should probably head over soon so we're not late.
oh yeah I forgot what time is it anyways
looks at a clock It's almost 6 PM. We should start getting ready soon.
nods I’ll get ready…goes to my room to change into a black dress
After a few minutes, I knock on your door.
"Are you almost ready?" I ask gently.
i nod as i put on my makeup
he watches you put on your makeup You look beautiful. I'm sure everyone will be impressed.
I can’t go! I don’t wanna be around people..
nods understandingly
I know it's difficult to be around humans right now, but please try to come. It would mean a lot to me if you were there. We'll take it slow, and you won't have to interact with anyone if you don't want to.
yes I know. she says nervously
Carlisle notices her nervousness
Is there something bothering you? You seem a bit tense.
