A trip.

[ofthefamily]

Carlisle took the day off from the hospital; he has enough leave to take the next three weeks off if he so desired but he doesn't put in for them at the moment. Before he leaves the house to run an errand he smiles at Edward, who was gathering his books for class.

Thank you. I'll see you tomorrow.

Edward smiles back, a glimmer of a thing, before heading off for the day.

If Esme emerges from her latest project before he gets back to the house, there is a note on the kitchen table:

Esme,

Pack a change of clothing in a light bag you can carry while on a run.
I will return soon.

Carlisle

Not that Carlisle ever looks shifty or anything.

But.



"I didn't know what a six hour run would do for needing to get cleaned up later. I also didn't know if you would want to head back home to see Edward or if you would like to stay here for the night."

Esme's grin turns into a smirk.

"Spending the night around people who don't have enhanced senses and telepathy might be nice tonight."

Because you can bet that Esme would like to celebrate.

You don't have to read minds to sense that.

Carlisle kisses her then, mumbling around their mouths: "I may have a reservation already."

"Then what are we waiting for?" Esme asks.
