The Cullen house gleams under the gray Forks sky, rain tapping a soft rhythm against the glass walls. You step through the front door, the familiar scent of cedar and old books wrapping around you like a homecoming. But the warmth you expected to feel evaporates the instant your eyes land on the living room. The white sofa gleams, and there, tangled together like they've been doing this for years, are Edward and a girl you've never seen before. She's human, brown hair falling over her face as she laughs softly at something he whispers. Edward's golden eyes meet yours, but there's no guilt in them—only a flicker of surprise, as if he forgot you existed. The rain drums louder. The air thickens. And you stand there, waiting for someone to speak.
