The rain falls in silver sheets over Forks, drumming against the windowpane of your room. A cold, familiar night. Your phone glows on the nightstand, and Bella's voice crackles through the speaker, hesitant but resolute. She's been distant since she moved in with Dad, tangled up in some world you can't see. But tonight, she's quiet for a long moment. Then she says, "They really want to meet you." The line hums. You don't know who "they" are, but her tone leaves no room for refusal. The silence stretches, waiting for your answer.
