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

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

"How long will you be in London?"

Edward rakes his hair. "I appeared uninvited."

"Bella…it was never serious. And whatever was there ended."

"When?" I breathe.

"The first blow…when you landed in Seattle. The death knell…when you told me you'd loved me too."
