[Twilight] Give me sunshine

"Edward and the others will be back in three days." Joan looked at Carlisle, "In order not to arouse everyone's doubts, I'm afraid our party must continue."

Carlisle nodded and quickly grasped the rhythm of the matter: "Joan and Alice continue to prepare for the party, and the rest of them will make some preparations with me."

"Before Edward and the others come back, we have to make a decision."

Everyone looked at each other, quickly understood the situation, and left according to Carlisle's arrangement.

In the autumn season, the night falls very early. After five o'clock in the evening, the town is already dark and silent, and the deserted road can only hear the rustling of leaves blown by the wind.More than two hours before the party started, Joan and Alice returned to the venue. After some discussions, they tried their best to clean up the situation and discarded small details. Everything could only be decorated briefly.Although Alice is not very satisfied with this, this simple and plain style is very pleasing to Joan's appetite.

"This is the worst party I've ever thrown." Alice sighed regretfully, "I still have a lot of things I haven't used."

Joan shook her head and chuckled lightly, took the ribbon in her hand, put it in the storage box, closed the lid and picked it up, looked around and looked around, and it was almost the same, except that the ribbon originally designed by Alice was wrapped around The armrests, the chandeliers with emerald and onyx crystals, etc., were all canceled due to lack of time.

"Let's go, take it home. If the matter is over, maybe we will have a moving welcome party." Joan held the cardboard box in both hands, and when she couldn't free her hands, she lightly raised her chin and motioned for Alice to pick up the paper box on the ground. Two cardboard boxes, "Let's go back and change clothes first."

Alice easily picked up the cardboard box and followed behind Joan. When she talked about Renee Smee, her heart suddenly sank. Decorate the mood of the house.

Joan didn't know how to explain her nervousness now. She changed into the blue suspender dress that Caius picked that day, but she didn't intend to go downstairs for a long time.She knew that Caius was waiting for her downstairs, and she had seen her wearing this dress, but she was inexplicably awkward sitting by the door. The luxurious style in the picture, why did Caius choose it under the eyes of Caius.

It was not until Alice knocked on the door that Joan walked out of the room half-unnaturally.

Because the dress was more formal and retro, she put her shoulder-length hair up, revealing her slender neck, and didn't wear any necklaces, which made her look fairer and cleaner.

Maybe it was because she was not used to the stiletto high heels that Alice gave her, or maybe it was for some other reason. Joan went downstairs very slowly. Under Caius' scorching gaze, she barely walked halfway, and she felt A little weak in the legs, trying to shake off these influences, approaching him step by step, before walking in front of him, I saw his outstretched arms.

In fact, for this kind of companion invitation, Caius would not open his mouth if he thought about it. He would just stop her forcefully like this, as she expected, so that she had no way to refuse.

Joan sighed softly, but still slowly put her hand on his arm, and the other hand pulled the hem of the skirt unnaturally.But in fact, in most cases, she would not reject Caius.

Out of the door, Joan stood alone on the side of the road, watching Caius drive the car to her side.In fact, this was the first time she saw Caius driving, and she even thought it was impossible for him to choose such an inefficient tool for vampires.

Caius came around from the front of the car and opened the car door for her in a gentlemanly manner. Joan smiled back and sat in the car with her head down.

After the car drove a certain distance, she opened her mouth to break the silence: "I thought you would feel that driving was too slow."

"It's very slow." Caius leaned casually on the car window with one hand, and manipulated the steering wheel with the other, as if he answered her casually, "But you're wearing a skirt."

Joan was taken aback. She hadn't thought about the problem of wearing a skirt. It seemed that after being familiar with the various powerful physical functions of vampires, she seldom paid attention to the common problems of girls like this.

"Thank you." She really couldn't move her legs in this skirt. "Fortunately, the destination is not far away."

It only took seven or eight minutes to drive from home. This time, when I arrived at the venue, there were already a lot of people coming, most of whom were invited by Alice.Although the decoration is hasty and simple, the small light strings on the tree at the door and the flower decorations on the roadside have not been left behind. Against the background of the night, it outlines a charming atmosphere. Looking from a distance, it is all flickering and hazy yellow, which is extraordinarily beautiful. romantic.

What Joan didn't expect was that the first photo of her and Caius was actually a routine photo when entering the party.Even though Caius didn't seem to like taking pictures, he still leaned slightly in accordance with her height and took a mild photo.

Joan looked at Caius, who was exceptionally obedient today, dumbfounded. He didn't know whether it was because of the atmosphere or because he hadn't seen each other for a long time. He was so obedient and gentle all day long.

After greeting everyone one by one, passing through the crowd all the way to the window, Joan leaned against the wall and looked at Caius who was hesitant to speak, frowning involuntarily.

"Cairus? Do you have anything to say to me?"

Caius seemed to have a natural aura. He stood in front of Joan, as if he trapped her within his range, and most people outside kept a distance from them intentionally or unintentionally. Gradually, They become as if they are alone in a crowd.

"Aro contacted me."

Joan clutched the corner of his clothes with wide eyes, and asked anxiously, "What does he want from you?"

Caius shook his head: "He only told me to go back as soon as possible."

His hands dropped limply, he couldn't tell if he was relieved because Aro didn't make it clear or disappointed because Caius was about to leave.All she knew was that after the conversation of these few sentences ended, her mood suddenly dropped.

"Okay, then be careful on the road."

"If I ask you, would you like to go back to Volturi with me, you..."

She was very moved by his invitation, but the Volturi at this moment had nothing but sorrow for her: "Caius, I'm still..."

Caius nodded and interrupted Joan's answer: "That's it, I already knew the answer."

Joan struggled and wanted to say something to comfort him, when she saw Alice running towards her from the crowd, jumping over Caius and grabbing her wrist.

"Come with me, I have to show you something."

Without leaving time for them to ease the atmosphere, Joan only had time to pat his arm before being hurriedly taken away by Alice.
