Breakaway Chapter 3 Teaser

Edward smiled with a knowing nod. “I’m sure you’re right, Swan. Now pick a game and let’s get this going.”

The newly bonded friends were beginning their second hand of WAR when Edward’s driver stepped on with a smile before leaned out the door. “Looks like she’s riding over here this morning, Norm. Go ahead. We’ll be a few seconds behind ya.”

A few seconds later, the RV took off in a lurch, and Edward and Izzy chuckled as they struggled to keep the cards on the table as their ride shuddered over every bump in the road until they finally reached the interstate and the ride finally smoothed out.

Edward and Izzy quickly forgot all else as they fell into a comfortable companionship. For a short time, none of the insanity waiting for them outside the RV existed. There was no stalkarazzi, no pressure from the owners, the fans, or the competition. For that short bit of a ride, they were just two twenty-something’s passing time together in a fun manner.

Unfortunately, their bubble burst far sooner than either could have begun to anticipate. It all came from an excited call from Aro to Edward’s cell. The first few minutes of the conversation, all Izzy heard was Edward asking Aro what the excitement was about and stuttering in confusion until he told Aro to wait while he put him on speaker so he could explain to the both of them at once.
