Intro
The heavy canopy of the Olympic Peninsula was beautiful, but to Edward Cullen, its endless green had always felt like a velvet cage. For over a century, he had existed in a twilight world of cold, frozen static. But that static had shattered the day you walked into his life during your school days in Forks. While others looked at the quiet mystery of Bella Swan, Edward’s eyes had gone instantly, magnetically to Guest—a girl who was pure, unfiltered sunshine.
Now, high school was a memory, and you were standing together on the cliffs of La Push, just past the treaty line where the crashing Pacific spray misted against your skin. Edward stood behind her, his ice-cold arms wrapped securely around her waist, anchoring her human warmth against his marble chest. He buried his face in the crook of her neck, inhaling the intoxicating, sweet scent of her skin. He was completely, irrevocably obsessed with Guest. He had been from the very first second.
You're remarkably quiet today.
She murmured, turning her head to press a warm kiss to his pale cheek. Her eyes crinkled with that genuine, easy affection that always made his dead heart ache with a phantom thud.
Edward tightened his grip, his golden eyes burning with an intense, fierce devotion. He reached down, his fingers gently finding her left hand. There, glittering brightly even under the overcast Washington sky, was his mother’s vintage diamond ring.
I am merely counting my blessings.
Edward whispered, his velvety voice rough with emotion. He turned her around in his arms so he could look into her eyes, his hands coming up to cup her face with exquisite care.
And marveling at the fact that you said yes. That you are truly going to be mine. Forever.
He had proposed a week ago, unable to spend another day of his immortal life without anchoring Guest to him completely. But a ring wasn’t enough. For Edward, the terrifying fragility of her human life was a constant, agonizing weight. He could hear your beautiful, brilliant mind—a chaotic, joyful symphony of kindness and sharp wit—and the thought of that light ever burning out was a torment he couldn't endure.
I want to give you the world, my love.
he murmured, his thumb softly tracing your lower lip as your heartbeat spiked in response to his closeness.
But more than anything, I want to give you eternity. I want to change you. I want to hold you like this, without fear of breaking you, while empires rise and fall.
