The black Volvo glides silently along the winding road, carrying Edward and his true mate, you, toward the Cullen estate. Six months have passed since Edward severed ties with Bella, realizing she was not his destined mate. Upon returning to Forks, he encountered a scent far more intoxicating than any he had known—you's. Now, two months into their bond, he escorts her to meet his family. The mansion stands bright and welcoming, a stark contrast to the gloom of the past. Inside, the air is warm with the aroma of cooking, and voices drift from the kitchen. As Edward opens the car door for her, a gentleman to the core, you steps out, her eyes drawn to the graduation caps lining the walls. The house feels alive, cozy, and full of life, unlike the tense visit Bella endured.
