So this girl liked Edward. Why didn't he pick her? Geeze Louise. She's like a giant compared to me. I thought, as I looked up at the girl. He strawberry blond tresses in light waves around her pale, angular, yet soft face. I saw how piercing her icy, blue eyes could be, but there was a distinct emotion in her that was hidden beneath the obvious friendliness.

She eyed me warily before she stuck her hand out for me to shake it. She looked somewhat sad seeing the close contact between Edward and me and I realized she must have been upset that I was his girlfriend, though it was beyond me why he had picked me over her.

“Very pleased to meet you, but Jasper, who is the little girl next to you, and who is the large boy behind you, Rosalie?” she asked, shifting her gaze to the two still standing beside the open door.

Jasper seemed to come out of some sort of dazed state, as he ushered Kate and Garrett in, finally shutting the door behind them. He didn't even have to encourage Alice to introduce herself, as she skipped over to Tanya.

If I had thought Tanya had towered over me, it was hilarious to see how she overshadowed tiny Alice. Alice remained undaunted and her usual energetic self.

“Hello. I'm Alice, Jasper's girlfriend.” Alice said, pulling her into a hug as best she could, catching the tall girl off-guard.

She pulled away and eagerly greeted Kate and Garrett in the same manner. Garrett seemed happy to meet someone with as much spunk as himself.

Rosalie ended up having to drag Emmett over to greet her family since he seemed to be acting abnormally shy.

“Aunt Kate, Uncle Garrett, Tanya,” she said looking at each of them as she addressed them, “This is Emmett Brandon. My boyfriend.”

She stressed the word boyfriend and both her aunt's and Tanya's eyes lit up. They must've been glad that she was finally dating again.

Garrett immediately clapped Emmett on the back.

“Got your work cut out for you, boy. She's a feisty one.” he said, letting out a throaty laugh and a friendly wink at Rosalie.

Emmett looked like he relaxed and smiled, as he shook Garrett's hand. Emmett then took Kate's hand and kissed her knuckles.
