Chapter 5
Bella again studied the advertisement. It had been a week since she had first
seen it. In that time, several things had happened. Jacob and Leah announced
their hope that they would be adding to their family. As happy as Bella was for
them, a small part of her heart also broke. Mike and Jessica announced their
plan to marry the following Spring. Again, a small piece of her heart broke. Her
father, Charlie, began courting the widow down the street, Sue Clearwater, who
just happened to be Leah's mother. Another piece broke.
Making a decision, Bella wrote a reply to the advertisement:
To: Miss/Ms./Mrs. Alice Cullen
My name is Isabella Swan. I live in Seattle, Washington. I am sending you
this letter in regards to the advertisement you posted in the Chicago Press a
month ago. The one about the bride. I would like to accept that offer if it is
still available.
I will tell you something of myself. My name, as I said, is Isabella, but my
family and friends all refer to me as Bella. I am 17 years old, and will turn 18
in September. I am the youngest of 4, all boys before me. My father is the Chief
of Police here. My mother passed when I was only 3.
As to the specifications in your advertisement, I have kept the home of my
father and brother's for many years now. I am very skilled in the kitchen. I
also have a 3 year old nephew, whom I adore and am very skilled at taking care
of.
I realize I am young and therefore viewed by many as incapable, however, I
would like to add that I will work very hard and prove that I am capable to do
the things which I have stated above.
If this offer has already been filled, I thank you for your time in reading
this letter. If I do not hear from you before the Winter, I will know you do not
accept my proposition.
Kindest regards to you and your family,
Isabella Swan
Seattle, Washington
Bella placed the letter in an envelope, addressed it, and placed it on her
vanity. She would be going in to town tomorrow for the weekly household
supplies. I will post it then.
