A/N: When we heard about the Fandom Against Domestic Violence taking place, both stolenxsanity and I (naelany) wanted to contribute. What started out as just a one-shot by one author quickly became a collab that we hope you’ll appreciate (we won’t say enjoy, given the subject).
We want to thank SorceressCirce for beta’ing and vi0lentserenity for prereading.
Thank you, also, to everyone who’s donated to FADV. Your help is worth so much more than you’ll ever know.
We don’t own Twilight. We merely let the characters do the talking.
Warning: This story includes domestic violence, which may be a trigger to some. Please take that into consideration before reading and have tissues ready.

I could feel my phone vibrating against my thigh as I made my way through the grocery store. There was so much that needed to be done, so much that I needed to do before tonight. Somehow, despite the late night I’d had with Edward, I’d managed to get out of bed and on the road early enough. I was a little behind schedule, but it was nothing that couldn’t be remedied by focusing on the tasks at hand. Right now, that task was getting the ingredients for the dinner Alice had helped me plan.
