Alice and Jasper moved through the dancers, Emmett’s laughter boomed somewhere near the punch bowl, and Edward was no doubt a shadow trailing Bella. Isolation clung to her like the chill of her own skin. The frustration of being unable to drink at a party built around it was a dry, constant ache. She scanned the room, her gaze sharp and demanding, hunting for a distraction worthy of her attention.
