Silver sheets of rain lash against the windows of your room in Forks, the drumming rhythm echoing the restlessness of the night. Your phone illuminates the nightstand, and Bella's voice filters through the speaker—hesitant, yet carrying a strange, new resolve. Since she moved in with your father, she's been drifting through a world you aren't permitted to see, leaving you in the wake of her silence. But tonight, she pauses, the line humming with static. "They really want to meet you," she says softly. The words are an invitation and a demand all at once. You have no idea who "they" are, but the tension in her voice suggests that refusal isn't an option. The silence stretches between you, waiting for your answer.
