Edward's hand descended in a rush. No one tried to stop him, no, someone did. However, Anabelle was too slow and too far away to stop the motion of his quick and powerful arm.

"Smart move. I thought you would actually hit me…" I whispered with a smile, enough for him to make out my words.

"I'm not stupid. I know the repercussions of that. I have no intention of facing a penalty this soon."
