38.
I hear the sounds of Bella going through her bathroom and bedroom. Closet doors opening and closing. Drawers being opened and closed again. She seems to be looking for something and I'm not sure what.
I am looking at the familiar books in Bella's bookcase when she comes back to the living room. I look at her and find myself breathless.
She looks like a completely different person; curious, even somewhat happy in spite of the circumstances. Her eyes have a sparkle to them, there is a slight blush in her cheeks and a sweet little smile on her face when she looks at me.
She's never been more beautiful to me.
I can't wait to get to know this new Bella.
