Packing his belongings, Edward looked around the precinct. The job he had once cherished, no longer meant anything to him. It simply was another aspect of Carlisle's influence in his life choices. In his heart, Edward had always felt the need to brighten the life of those less fortunate. But he realized that being in the police wasn't what his heart desired.

He said his goodbyes and walked away feeling lighter. His new job was much more to his taste and frankly, more in tune with his education. Surely, being a social worker wasn't a walk in the park. He was going to be privy to the world's unfairness, but he also was going to have the chance to truly make a difference.

More changes loomed on the horizon, for his new job didn't pay as well as his former one did. So, he would need to move to a new place, one he could afford. But he didn't care. Too many memories haunted the place and he felt the need to start anew. Besides, he longed for the day when he would be spared from the reproachful glares of his neighbours.

Edward still couldn't bring himself to date, for he wasn't emotionally available and it would have been unfair to lead a woman on.
