Edward put a hand to his head, you should be thanking me? What kind of statement was that? Elise knew that he'd been waiting to go to his parents' grave, nothing else, she had no idea that her father was there too and that both their graves were there. Yet, he almost slipped with that stupid sentence. Now she was confused at the real reason they were going there. What if she suddenly backed out at the last minute, seeming something was wrong? What would her reaction be? Would she even remember the place, how it had been when she visited, countless years ago?

Edward hadn't noticed he was gripping the wheel of the car too hard if it wasn't Elise's light touch that hitched his breath, made him realize how stiff he was becoming and how fast he had been driving.

"Are you alright, Edward? Are you sure you want to go?" She asked, cautiously. He gave her a sidelong glance and nodded his head slowly, thinking how he was nervous for different reasons.

"I'm fine, really." He stated, more of reassuring himself than her as he gave a forced smile, showing off a perfect set of teeth.

He turned off the engine and sucked in a big gulp of air before opening the car door and looking at the graveyard before them. It was unlike what he remembered at all, the sloping hill in the left, gone, the old high metal gate gone and replaced with a white one yet even if it didn't seem familiar at first glance, the more you looked at it, the more the nostalgia hit you in the gut and at that moment, Edward was definitely feeling something in his gut. Whether it be nervousness or the possibility of something bad happening, he did not know. He never really liked this place yet, for Elise he just had to come.

"Edward." Elise called to him and as he swiveled his gaze in her direction, he could see that she was already meters away from him, walking on the dirty snow. He caught up with her as they reached an old area in the cemetery; at least they had the decency not to throw the old graves away. It was like they knew that they'd come back here years after, like they lent a hand without noticing.

"How'd you know where to go?" Edward asked her as they walked farther away. Stunned for a while, as if coming out of a trance, she shrugged not knowing what to say.

"I think I remember."

"Remember what?" Edward urged, suddenly he remembered what William had said; not to push her.

"This place; somehow like I've been here before, but it's definitely different now, very unlike what I know."

"Since you're from here too, maybe you'd been here before to visit an old relative."

"Maybe."

There were clumped graves in the area at almost the edge; their pace fastened, knowing they were at the place.

Elise gave Edward a smile as she held his hand as if to tell him that everything was fine. He leaned in closer to her in response, wanting the same thing.

"Hansen." She breathed all of a sudden as the couple passed a few graves; they gravestones had been changed at least tens of years before, battered from the weather and falling into pieces yet the words etched as bright as day.

"Hm?" Edward replied, not knowing what she was talking about.

"Oh nothing." She shook her head. "I just read one of the last names on the grave."

"The Hansens, I take? They were good friends of my family, I remember they had this boy who's acne was terrible." Edward chuckled as he tried to lighten the mood.

Elise laughed along, "You're horrible. You should be ashamed of yourself for teasing the kid."

"Not my fault, he used to get a kick out of throwing rocks at windows just to see them break, one old lady used to even shout at the boy."

Yet instead of laughing at his story as he expected her to, she only sighed and said in a surprised manner, "I can't believe you still remember those things, it seems like everything just happened days ago."

Edward gave a wry smile at the memory of all those experiences flashing through his head that night, it made his head spin just thinking about it.

"My memories just seem to be all hazy." She muttered sadly and Edward placed a hand on her back as he whispered in her air, a smile playing on his lips. "Don't worry, you'll remember it someday, I promise."
