A/N: Thanks so much for all your wonderful thoughts.

Another 100 words. :)

Most characters belong to S. Meyer. The rest belong to me. All mistakes are mine.

Chapter 5 – Chance Collision


Ten Years Earlier:

"Bella, that you?"

I turned.

"Edward?"

That day we collided by the Seattle waterfront, we hugged how we'd hugged multiple times since I'd moved to Washington. When I arrived at Forks, Edward was a high school senior. His sister, Alice, and I, both sophomores, became inseparable. So, although Edward and I attended school together only one year before he left for UDub, we weren't strangers by that fateful weekend when I was twenty.

And, from the start, this exchange felt…different…warmer…less best-friend's-big-brother, and more…intimate.

"What are you doing here? Al didn't mention you-"

"Alice doesn't know," I laughed.
