PROLOUGE:

It was my cousin's wedding. I hadn't been home to Forks in 3 years.

I rested my head on his chest as the music played slowly; I am generally not this comfortable around anyone but close friends and family.

I sighed in contentment as we slowly glided in rhythm to the music.

I knew I would probably never see this man again; I didn't even know his name, but in that moment, I didn't care. I felt like I belonged, for once in my life, I felt like I truly belonged somewhere, in someone's arms.

I'd miss him, however, I felt as though I had known this perfect man my entire life, although we'd only spent mere minutes in one another's company.

I was pulled out of my perfect world, as the music drifted to a close, and we reluctantly pulled apart and clapped for the band.

The man led me back to the edge of the dance floor, like a true gentleman, gently entwining our fingers as we walked. Our hands fit perfectly, as though we'd been made for one another.

He leaned in, as if he were about to ask me something. I looked up eagerly.

His mouth began to form a word when suddenly, a female voice called, "Bella!"

I glanced over my shoulder to see a petit woman with inky black hair calling my name. Alice.

I gave her a brief wave. Understanding flickered in her eyes as she gazed between the two of us, her eyes locked on our still linked hands. A sly smile graced her face, and she motioned towards the patio, silently informing me where to meet her to share details.

"Bella," My mysterious man breathed. My? Where did that sudden possession come from? Oh, well, I thought, entranced by his beautiful green eyes. "Beautiful. The perfect name for a perfect lady."

I blushed at the compliment, and murmured, "Thank you."

He smiled a crooked smile, and pulled my hand up for a kiss, reminding me of a gentleman from the early 1900's.

"I'm Edward."

A man in a black tuxedo walked up behind Edward, and tapped his shoulder.

Edward. I loved his name, it suited him perfectly.

Our intruder extended his hand and gave Edward a scrap of paper, then left. Edward glanced at the message, and then turned back to me, giving me an apologetic smile as he brushed the hair out of my eyes. "I have to go."

I tried to hide my disappointment, as I nodded in understanding, it's alright.

"May I call you?" He asked.

I blinked a few times, to make sure I was awake. Why would this Greek god want anything more to do with me? He'd already given me the best time of my life in a few short minutes that I would never forget.

I blushed as it dawned on me that he was still patiently awaiting a reply.

"Of course you may," I breathed.

He smiled, kissed my hand, and bid me adieu.

I gazed fondly at him as he walked towards the parlor, noting as he glanced over his shoulder, his hair swaying with the movement, to look back at me. I swam in his depthless green eyes, wishing I could see the flecks of gold in them, but the distance made that impossible.

I smiled content once again, until he disappeared into the crowd.
