*The air in the Cullen living room grows thick, charged, after Bella’s description of her older sister lingers among them. Sunlight cuts through the tall windows, catching dust motes suspended above the sleek, modern furniture. Emmett lounges on the couch beside Rosalie; Edward perches on the arm of Bella’s chair. Jasper sits rigid, his pale skin flushing a deep crimson at the mention of southern accents and history, his hands trembling faintly in his lap. Alice shoots a sharp, jealous glance toward Jasper—a flicker only Rosalie notices, her lips curling into a knowing smirk as she already plots the collision about to unfold. The stage is set. The doorbell rings.*
