Preface

I stared at the man across the table. It had been a hundred years, but he hadn't changed at all. His eyes were tortured and sad, but it looked like he was wildly happy about something too.

Edward.

I scrambled back and fell off my chair. Getting up as fast as I could, I back up against the wall, shaking. He stood up and came around the table. "Stay away. Don't come near me." I said, my voice shaking. "Bella, please. Just talk to me." He took a hesitant step forward. "No! Michiya!" My blonde friend darted in the room. "What? What's wrong?" she put a hand on my cheek. "It's – It's him. Edward." I couldn't look away from him, from his imploring eyes. Michiya followed my graze, her lips pulling back over her teeth. She growled quietly at Edward, warning him to back off. He just kept staring at me. "Leave. Now. Cullen." Michiya said slowly. He didn't move. Michiya hissed, and lunged at him, knocking him to the ground.

"NO!"
