Carlisle has been trying to stay more in Forks of late, with Bella still needing care, and Edward needing what little support he'd be willing to accept.

That being the case, his flowers were kept for him by the Bar, still fresh and bright when he arrives to see if he has any messages.

The note attached is read quickly:

...it confounds all notion of time:
effaces all memory of a beginning, all fear of an end.

It puts a smile on Carlisle's face. The flowers will look great in the infirmary, pollen be damned for now.

"Stupid holiday."

"Stupid husband."

Stupid, quite inviting, smile that makes that such a lie.

"Should I call out of work today?"

[sheisourheart]

"I don't have any other plans."

And Bella is resting.

"Let me get back to the hospital and make my excuses."

[sheisourheart]

"That should give me just enough time to change."

Since Alice is at school it will.

Hopefully.

"I'll see you at home then."

Esme smiled, shifting the flowers back from being held in one hand to being held in both, when she let go of his hand. There was a smile, warm and pleased and brightened toward some excitement.

"I'll be waiting for you."

Easy exits were easy. Short visits weren't so bad maybe.
