"In three words I can sum up

everything I've learned in life:

it goes on"

Robert Frost

Five yrs ago, following Charlie's brutal murder & the Cullen's departure, Bella fled Forks, hoping to forget. That had been the plan, at least. However,when an innocent trip turned dangerous, she realized she hadn't buried her past as deeply as she thought. The supernatural world hadn't finished with her yet. In fact, she was the perfect weapon in an age old war.

I met Edward on a boat. A very large boat -- the morning ferry commute from Bremerton to Seattle.

Content with my life, I wasn't looking for anything...I was happy in my safe little rut. But that's the funny thing about Fate -- it often strikes when you least expect it. Mine came in the form of blazing toffee-colored eyes, a wicked smile, and a mane of unkempt golden and chestnut hair.

What I didn't realize at the time was that Edward is a paradox.

Edward is not the man of my dreams. It's sort of impossible when I can't have them anymore.

This isn't a love story. This is a seduction. A complete persuasion of mind, body, and soul. Of behavior and beliefs. And I wouldn't change it for the world...I think.

Two people in need of change happen to meet. But what happens when they realize that their instant connection stems from their childhood? This is a story about love, fate and destiny.

A perfect cafe au lait was all it took for Hollywood's most eligible bachelor to fall in love with me...the coffee girl.

*UPDATING in mid/late 2023*

"Come over, I need you. Now." As always, I go to her. Except this time, it may be the last. I love her deeply, but I don't know if I can do this anymore. Each goodbye is harder than the last one. I want more than just being hers behind closed doors. If only we could truly be together; if only we were meant to be.

Edward was 19.  Bella was 13.  They were next door neighbors.  Charlie was the chief of police.  Carlisle was a doctor at the local hospital. 

Edward’s little sister Alice was also 13 and Bella’s best friend. 

While home from college for the summer, Edward spent time with his little sister and her best friend so their parents could all go out for dinner.

Over the next several years, Edward and Bella became good friends, until the summer she turned 16 when she transformed before his eyes.

AH, ExB, Mostly EPOV, sort of coming-of-age, hopefully a little poignant, with a splash of angst until Bella's at least seventeen.  Mature for language, eventual lemons and a very spunky Bella.
