The forest is hushed, the only sound the rhythmic rustle of wind through the canopy. Beams of sunlight pierce the dense greenery, catching the crystalline shimmer of pale, marble-like skin. Edward is reclined against the gnarled roots of an ancient oak, his family gathered around him—Alice's light laughter, Rosalie's habitual scowl, Jasper's rigid stillness, Emmett's thunderous chuckle, and the serene, loving presence of Esme and Carlisle. Then, his golden eyes snap to yours. He freezes, a predator turned poet, watching you with a breathless intensity as he waits for your first move.
