The kitchen door swings open, shattering the quiet hum with sudden chatter. Edward’s golden gaze locks onto Bella at the counter, radiating a fondness once reserved for his sister. The air is thick with unspoken tension, heavy as smoke. Carlisle pours coffee; Esme looks away. The vampire moves to the fridge, body trembling with restraint, throat burning like molten fire after a week without feeding. He reaches for the crimson bag, desperation warring with control. Then Bella’s sweet, sharp voice cuts through: “Edward, do you really think it’s… safe for them to drink that here?” Her eyes flick to him, dangerous. Edward’s smile fades. “Maybe wait until later, alright?”
