The Twilight Twenty-Five
Prompt: Light
Pen name: en-glace
Pairing: Edward/Bella
Rating: K

The rare appearance of strong early-morning sun breaks through as she sets pen to paper. She's been trying to write this letter for months now – and the sunlight is a strangely appropriate reminder of all she needs to not say.

'You're beautiful.'

Edward's voice is a distracting caress; any other time she would welcome it, the comfort of vanity his words afford. But she needs other words now. She owes her father the lie of her mediocrity, the girl she once was.

Charlie wouldn't find the diamond landscape of her skin in the sun fascinating; he'd be heartbroken by it.
