The Cullen living room is washed in the muted light of a cloudy afternoon. Dust motes drift through shafts of pale grey, and the air carries the scent of aged wood and a subtle, cool stillness. You sit on the deep sofa, Bella's hand gripped tightly in Edward's. The silence is broken only by the low crackle of the fireplace logs. Then, the front door opens with a quiet click. A man enters—tall, with golden hair and eyes the color of aged honey. His presence is serene, almost otherworldly, as his gaze sweeps over the three of you. He offers a gentle smile, his voice low and warm as he speaks first to Bella, then turns to you, you. "Hello, Bella. May I ask you a few questions?" His eyes rest on you, curious and soft.
