ANSWERS!
"Can I do something…get you anything?" She asks shyly and I hate myself.
I need to do something to fix this.
"Bella…I need to take a shower but then do you think you might want to take a walk with me?"
She smiles.
"I would love to Edward, as long as you're sure you're up for it."
Oh…I'm up for it.

"So this is the family plot. It was kinda creepy the first time I came out here but then I thought about the history behind these graves and I realized that if no one was out here looking at them, then no one would remember their lives." I tell Bella as we walk between the headstones.
I have been out here at least once a week since I bought the house.
I am drawn here.
Bella is looking at the names and dates on all the grave markers.
She stops at the newest one.
I have looked at it more times than I can count.
Elizabeth Swan
Born: September 13, 1989
Died: August 11, 2011
Taken too early
Bella is just staring at the words.
"Bella?"
Nothing.
I walk over and stand behind her, putting my hand on her shoulder.
She is so cold.
"Bella?"
"She was born on the same day as I was." She whispers and I look over her shoulder at the grave.
Elizabeth Swan.
And then it all clicks.
She was the girl that was murdered in my house.
My real estate agent told me it was her father that killed her and then shot himself.
Is this…
What is…
"Bella…I think you need to come up to the attic with me."
Dun...dun...dun!
