Finally, finally...the long awaited return of Life in the Balance. Here is a quick look at chapter 15 from Alice's pov:
In five and a half years I had never heard Carlisle sound so serious or angry. He’d walked in here so many times ranting after his fights with Bella and each time I picked up on his frustration, but there was never anger. Now, he was downright livid.
“Explain exactly what happened last night and tell me how on earth you managed to not only give everything away but also let her get her hands on you. Something like that shouldn’t happen.”
“That’s not fair, Carlisle,” I interrupted. “You can’t blame…”
“No Alice, he’s right. I messed up…bad.” Paul’s hand was on my arm to keep me from speaking. “Like I told Jasper last night, Bella and I were having a relaxed conversation. She was explaining your meeting to me. She told me about your fight,” he said, addressing Carlisle. “How could you let your anger get the better of you…you really scared her.”
Paul and Carlisle locked eyes when he told him how he made Bella feel and I felt bad for both of them in that moment. They were each trying to hold so much emotion back, but in that instant, it was written all over their faces.
