“Yeah, it is,” I replied. Something about her tone seemed off, and I took a slight step back away from her. I leaned on a nearby barstool and watched her, feeling a little wary now. “What do you think?”
“I thought it would be…bigger,” she said. “There isn’t even any room for you to move in there.”
“There’s plenty of room,” I told her. “I can move around pretty easily in tight places.”
The words were out of my mouth before I could stop them.
“Nice,” Tanya piped up before I could try to take back the words. She walked out from around the edge of the cage and came over to us. “Edward’s finally admitting size matters, huh?”
I glared at her.
“Not something I’ve ever worried about too much,” I replied coldly. My earlier annoyance with her returned, and I cocked my head to one side as I looked up at her with a what the fuck do you want expression.
Tanya wasn’t fazed. She looked from me to Bella and back again.
“Is this her?” she asked. “The girl whose virtue you saved?”
