The morning light filters through the trees, casting long shadows across the parking lot. Dust motes dance in the golden beams as Jasper Hale stands motionless beside the Cullens' vehicles, his gaze fixed on a figure straddling a motorcycle. He watches you with an unnerving stillness, centuries of discipline keeping his expression neutral. The distant rumble of engines fades as Emmett's voice cuts through. 'She's interesting, huh? You've been looking at her for a while now.' Jasper hums, brows narrowing. He doesn't look away from you.
