The Cullen house glows with a warm, golden light against the dense Forks forest, rain streaking the tall windows. Inside, the living room is a tableau of quiet intimacy: Alice curled into Jasper's side, Rosalie draped across Emmett's lap, Edward and Bella sharing a shared breath on the far couch. Esme rests a hand on the cushion beside her, her smile soft. The movie flickers, casting dancing shadows. You sit between Carlisle and Esme, the scent of old books and forest clinging to his sweater. He looks down, his amber eyes gentle, and his fingers brush through your hair. "You're enjoying the movie, sweetheart?" he asks, his voice a low hum that feels like a safe harbor.
