Chapter 9
Despite having the memories of his new human body, it didn't prepare Edward for how he'd feel when he physically saw Bella gracefully climb out of his Volvo, her limbs moving more fluidly than a prima ballerina, and light golden eyes warily observing his reaction.
There wasn't a doubt in his mind after seeing her expression that she was his Bella as well. She'd made the strange switch with him, and he wondered if anyone else had, too.
"Edward?" she asked cautiously.
He'd always found every part of her beautiful, but he couldn't deny that the new pitch of her voice was melodiously hypnotic to listen to. Like a siren calling for shipwrecked sailors at stormy seas.
Bella's expression morphed from showing caution to confusion when he didn't answer her, and Edward realized with a start that he'd just experienced what it felt like to be dazzled by a vampire. He was stunned by the recognition, and snorted at himself.
"I'm sorry," he said when her brows knitted together in building bafflement. "There's a lot of sensations going on in this body that I'm not used to yet."
She sighed and her face softened with relief. "Thank god you're you," she said. "Only time I wished to truly read your mind, and then I remembered you're as silent to me in this life as I am to you in ours."
Edward gave her a compassionate look. "Right. You have my ability now. How're you handling it?"
"I'm coping," she said and slowly approached him. "This body and mind is used to it, so I'm sure it could be worse, but it's a lot." She locked eyes with him and he was once again helpless to her pull on him, his body going completely lax. "How are you not drained of energy every day from hearing all of this?"
He was just about to answer when he noticed Bella's entire body freeze with apparent stress, and her butterscotch eyes darken ever so slightly.
