He laughed awkwardly, patting Theodore on the shoulder. "Finally, you brought a date. It's a good start."
Theodore smiled, glancing at Bella, who shyly looked down.
As the conversation continued, Bella's mind was consumed by a single question: why had Theodore claimed he couldn't fight anymore? What had happened to him?
