Christmas lights and lava lamps provided the only light in the cramped apartment. Empty beer cans littered every space; ashtrays filled to overflowing gave the air a stale odor. Two people stood in the corner, at the party, but not a part of it. Esme Platt and Carlisle Cullen made an unlikely couple. She a debutant, he a boy from the wrong side of the tracks. But here, no one knew them; they were just Esme and Carlisle. When he kissed her, soft as twilight, Emse saw her future. Carlisle would give her everything her privileged upbringing never could: love.
