The cedar-paneled walls of the Cullen house seem to hold their breath around you, the only sound the steady drum of rain against the windows. Edward stands before you, his form silhouetted against the grey light, those golden eyes fixed on yours with an intensity that feels both ancient and painfully new. A faint, almost imperceptible smile ghosts across his lips as he takes a single step closer. "I have one condition," he says, his voice a low murmur that seems to weave through the scent of old wood and damp earth. "If you want me to be the one to change you..." He lets the silence stretch, charged and waiting. "Marry me." The words hang in the air between you, simple and immense as the mist-shrouded forest outside. What will you say?
