I felt lighter and freer, being able to purge that secret from my system. The unconditional support and forgiveness he bestowed upon me as he held me reminded me of the younger Edward. As long as I was in his arms, I just knew everything was going to be just fine.
All too soon, we arrived at Edward's condo and wordlessly exited the cab. The strain of the last few hours was finally taking its toll on me, and I wobbled as I walked. Edward, always the caretaker, wrapped me tighter and supported my weight as we walked into the building and into the elevator.
My awareness outside of the intimate little bubble we existed in was gone. I could only see, feel, and smell Edward. He ushered me down the hallway and opened the door with one hand. I wanted to take in the surroundings, to get clues about this new Edward. But the sudden knowledge that we were all alone broke through and I turned shy and unsure.
I didn't fully understand this new Edward, nor could I anticipate where this was all headed. It was unfamiliar territory with someone I used to know like the back of my hand. I was used to predicting what he would do before he did it. But when he placed his hands on my face, and I looked into his eyes, it didn't matter.
"We both made choices, and we've had to live with them. But, that doesn't matter anymore." There was a fire in his eyes that warmed my soul and stirred something deep and primal. "We're here, right now. What's important now are the choices we make from this moment forward. And I don't know about you, but I don't plan on making any without you."
Just like that, he made me feel calmer, more comfortable. It was in that moment that I realized no matter how much time had passed, he was Edward. He's my Edward, my best friend, and the other half of my soul.
"I feel the same way," I vowed.
