Book 1 : Chapter 60 Polly

November 12th

The next morning was a good one. We awoke to the beautiful smell of pancakes- homemade by Rosa. Xander came down to the kitchen with Bella smiling by his side and they sat at the table being all cute and pouring maple syrup on each other's pancakes. Mateo lifted his lip in disgust when Bella reached up to wipe a crumb off his lip but pulled him down for a kiss.

"I've really gotta move out," he grumbled, "if I see one more of my siblings getting off, I'm going to vomit."

"About time," Rosa muttered from the kitchen, "I'm fed up of feeding you."

A few hours later, Leo got a call and had to leave without an explanation, which was surprising since he had plenty of time to give Xander a graphic warning of what would happen if he broke the terms of the challenge whilst he was gone.

Xander and Bella were sitting on the sofa when I came downstairs to get a glass of water, Xander with his arm around her.

"Hey, Bella," I said shortly.

"Hey, Ells," Bella replied.
