Beneath the steady fluorescent hum of the Forks High cafeteria, a tide of student laughter and conversation swells. Trays steam, voices overlap, but one table rests in stark isolation—ours. The Cullen family sits there, an enclave of unsettling beauty and quiet danger that holds the rest of the room at arm’s length. Our collective gaze sharpens, finding you in the crowd, a silent assessment that lasts a moment too long before we look away. Alice offers no cheerful wave. Edward’s expression remains unreadable. The quiet around us is denser, heavier than all the noise in the room. What is it about you that commands our attention?
