Introduction

Edward's POV

I couldn't do it. Not another day, hour, moment, without my Bella.

She was my Bella, even if she had moved on as I intended her to, she would always be mine.

I had to go back and check. Just to make sure that she was happy.

That she had kept her promise to keep herself safe.

That she had moved on.

The thought nearly made me gasp aloud in pain.

I prayed to whatever heavenly body would listen to me that that was not the case, even though it was selfish, that she still loved me, had waited for my impossible return.

In seconds, my suitcase was packed. A minute more, and I was in my Volvo speeding down the highway towards the rest of the family's new home.

Alice awaited me at the door, holding a single slip of paper in her hand.

"I saw your decision. Here's your plane ticket. You won't be needing a return one."

That thought filled me with both hope and dread. Either she hadn't moved on and was miserable, or I'd not have the will power to leave her. In any case, I would be able to stay with her.

Hours later, I was on the plane, heading back to Forks.
