Here is a little something from the upcoming chapter of Pushing Buttons:
"So, Alice," Bella chimed in, noting the bitterness in each of the cousins' voices. "Do you have any brothers and sisters?"
Alice looked at her, eyes wide like a doe in headlights. "Yeah..." she reluctantly said. "I have a younger sister."
Jasper would not have asked that question, knowing what he now did. In fact, he was surprised that Bella ventured into it. He was no expert, but he knew that someone who was legally emancipated did not come from fortunate circumstances. While he had no problem quipping about her fantastical dreams about him, he wasn't sure that talking about her estranged family was a good idea.
"Does she live with you?"
Alice's jaw slackened a little. Again, he wondered how Bella was not seeing the effect of her questions. "Uh, no. She lives back home in Mississippi..."
"Oh."
