Jasper's little prank had clearly been having the desired effect on everybody in the Cullen house. For two days now Esme had thought of nothing but how Edward might be feeling. Now because of Jasper, Alexandria and Edward weren't even entering her mind, it was as if she was hypnotized by her husband. They had been in love for as long as Esme could remember, and she was blissfully happy everyday, they both knew they would be lost without each other. When they were alone, Esme felt like she was the only person in the world who mattered to Carlisle.
Unfortunately for them, they didn't often get quality time alone, they were a private couple and didn't want their children listening in on them, those conversations were uncomfortable, they didn't relish the idea of Emmett teasing them as he had done once a year before.
