Viv, Tia and Abby had gone to Waylon Forge's home to extend their condolences.

Viv spent her time offering condolences to Waylon's family while Abby walked around the backyard of Waylon's home with Tia as her sister sighs sadly.

"The poor family, they're really distraught."

"Well of course they are. They loved him" Abby replies, "it's not an easy thing for anyone to go through."

"We know, don't we?" Tia asks sadly with tears of sadness in her eyes.

"We do" Abby admits with tears in her own eyes, "the pain never goes away" she says, "you just get used to it" she says as Tia gives her sister a side hug at this.

"What's Edward doing here?" Tia asks her sister when she spotted Edward's car parked in front of their house.

"He wanted to meet aunt Viv" Abby admits, "please, please be nice" she begs her aunt when Viv pulls into their driveway behind the truck.

"What are you talking about? I'm always nice" she said, undoing her seat belt.

Abby groaned at this and Tia laughed before they climbed out the car.

Edward climbs out of his car as Abby approached him.

"You ready to be grilled?" she asks him somewhat playfully, offering him an apologetic smile as she does.

"As ready as I'll ever be" he replies, taking her hand into his.

He was wearing gloves as an excuse for the chilly weather but Abby knows it's so her aunt won't notice just how cold his hands really are.

They turn to face Viv and make their way toward her and Tia as they all headed for the front door.

"Ms. Ericcson, my name is Edward Cullen" he says politely, extending a hand for her to shake as Viv shakes it, her expression closed off and standoffish.

"It's nice to formally meet you Edward" Viv says to him, "come on in and we can get something to drink" she said when Tia opened the door and headed inside as they all followed.

Edward ushered Abby into her house by keeping a polite hand on her back.

She shows him to one of the couches, hearing Tia complain about the cold before going to adjust the thermostat.

"So Edward" Viv starts, "tell me a bit about yourself."

"Uhm...well as you know my name is Edward Cullen and I'm 17 years old" he replies. "I'm a junior and I'm adopted."

"By Doctor and Mrs. Cullen" Viv says as he nods at this. "What are your intentions with my niece?" she asks him bluntly, making Abby glance nervously between her aunt and boyfriend.

And here she thought that Viv would be playing nice.

"They are nothing short of honourable" he says sincerely, "I care for Abby very much and I'm...I'm grateful that she chose me" he adds, smiling at Abby as she gave him a smile of her own before biting her lower lip nervously. "I promise you that my intent is not to hurt Abby" he promised, looking back to Viv.

"I appreciate you saying that" Viv says, "but I was 17 once too" she says, "so I hope that you're an improvement on the last boy Abby dated" she adds sternly.

"Aunt Viv" Abby admonishes softly.

"Ugh, Steven" Tia says with a scoff at the memory of her sister's ex.

Abby shoots her a look at this.

"I don't know what he did but I can assure you that I'll be a definite improvement" he says as Viv nods at this.
