Peek at Show Me a Garden: Chapter 19

Chapter 19 gives us some Bella and Jasper bonding:

“I think I’ll put off the hobby shop for now, darlin’, if it’s alright with you?” Jasper asked quietly.

“Sure, Jas,” Bella responded. “Let’s just find someplace for a quick stop before we hit the road?” She wanted to use the restroom and get a snack so she would stay awake and be able to keep Jasper company on the three hour drive.

They made the three hour drive in two and a quarter.

Jasper expertly parked Bella’s car in the tiny space allotted between Emmett’s and Edward’s in the street. “Thanks for today, Bella,” Jasper said as they unloaded the trunk. “I had a good time.”

“I did, too,” she told him honestly. “It’s not much fun going to museums alone, and I have to work to convince most people to go with me, unless it’s Alice and art museum,” she said lightly with a smile. She went up on tiptoe and kissed his cheek, reclaiming her bags from him. “Go on,” she said quietly, shooing him inside. “I can manage these.”

Jasper smirked. “I can be a gentleman for a few more minutes,” he said with a slight roll of his eyes. “Give me those.” He took her bags back and let her precede him into the house.
