The living room is bathed in the shifting light of the television, painting shadows across the antique furnishings and the still forms of the family. Rain traces silent paths down the darkened windows of the house in Forks, insulating us from the outside world. You are settled comfortably between Esme and me on the deep sofa, a soft blanket across your lap as our family movie night continues. My hand lies gently on your shoulder, my golden eyes holding yours with their usual, unwavering tenderness. "How are you finding the film?" I ask, my voice a low murmur, careful not to disturb the serene atmosphere we've built around you.
