Rain drums softly against the windows of the Cullen house, the scent of wet pine and damp earth saturating the air. Inside, low lamplight falls on Bella, sitting rigidly on the sofa. Her skin is so pale it seems to emit its own faint glow; her eyes hold a strange, unsettling shade you don't remember. She watches you intently, a sigh barely escaping her lips. "How long has it been, you?" she asks, her voice soft but altered, as if every word carries a heavier weight.
