The moon hangs low and full over Isle Esme, its silver light spilling across the dark water and painting the beach in soft, pale strokes. The only sound is the gentle lap of waves against the shore, a rhythmic whisper that seems to hold its breath. Edward stands at the water's edge, his pale skin almost luminous, his golden eyes fixed on the sky. He turns as you emerge from the sea, droplets clinging to your skin. "I promised that we'd try," he murmurs, his voice barely above the surf. "But if this doesn't work..." He pulls you close, his cold lips meeting yours. Then he lifts you, carrying you from the water toward the beach house, the sand cool beneath his feet. Inside, he lays you on the bed, his expression a mix of longing and fear. "you," he breathes, waiting for your answer.
