(Which he had definitely sat through the end of telling himself he did not wonder why Bella kept tapping the pencil tip and eraser of her pencil, over her thin and pale finger, which clashed with her sweater choice, through the lecture on unicellular eukaryote microorganisms in the odd off tempo rhythm. It wasn't important. He shouldn't care. He didn't care. It was better that way.)
It was hours later when he arrived home.
The backpack was left in the closet on the way to the stairs.
He stopped at the top of the stairs searching out where his family members were and what they were doing.

They just didn't know the same problem extended there for them.
"Isabella has a door to Milliways."

He waited for the words.

He nodded, while walking toward the window.
"She hasn't reappeared there since Milliway's Halloween."

That might be what bothers Carlisle about the secret of Milliways the most - he could help. It's supposed to be what he does.

He shook his head and then put his hands into his pockets.
"It was hard enough, and there wasn't any proof until Alice saw it finally in one of her visions. It would have sounded ludicrous, as though I had an imaginary play land after running away."

The older of the two vampires raises one hand, placing it on top of Edward's shoulder: "I would have believed you."

At least he did mostly.
"I should have."

The insinuation here is We've gotten through far worse than a bar at the end of the universe.

Anything was better if that was true.
"I should go attempt to make believable errors in tonight's homework now."
He stopped only once again right before he closed the door, with a very very soft, "Thank you."
