They'd had a renewing of their vows -- or, to Forks, it was their actual wedding. Jasper had sighed and given in and let Alice plan an extravagant party -- one she hadn't actually gotten to have the first time around.
The ceremony, though, that was largely the same. Just her and Jasper and their family as witnesses and a simple yellow dress that closely resembled the one she wore the day she actually married him. Baby's breath flowers woven into her hair, her smile was blindingly bright as she once again promised herself to Jasper Whitlock all over again.
It was the after-party that would have the town talking for ages. Not since Bella and Edward's wedding had there been so much...extravagance. Maybe not since the infamous prom party even.
Alice popped up at Edward's side, grasping his elbow and beaming. Dance with me. Her big, golden eyes blinked up at him as he tried to pretend he wouldn't -- even though they both knew he would, as he could see the vision of them twirling around the dance floor in her head. Dance with me.
He looked away and took her hand before twirling her around and bending down so he could press his forehead against hers. Her smile was heartbreakingly sweet. He loved her so much and...he never said it. Didn't ever have to...
But he should tell her. He should tell her every day, maybe as much as Jasper says it, because, as he hefted his (tiny, she's so tiny, how did they never lose her?) sister in his arms so he wasn't bent in half anymore (but now her feet were dangling above the dance floor as they swayed for a moment), because without her, Edward would be lost.
In so many ways that he couldn't even begin to count. But he couldn't get the words out either.
Alice dug her finger into his side til he dropped her back on the floor. Standing on her tiptoes, she cupped his face in her (tiny) hands and says "Shh," She soothed, even though he hasn't said a word. "I love you too, Edward."
She jumped up to give him a kiss on the cheek before twirling away to find her husband, leaving Edward standing in the middle of the dance floor with his hand on his cheek.
Love you too, Alice
