Epilogue
Carlisle stayed in his study for most of the week, then he told his family about Hanna's visit. Once that was done and over with, he read over her journals, smiling at how she had written their time together, it was exactly the same as he remembered it. Once he was done reading the journals, he got Edward to.
At first, Edward made it seem as if it was a chore, but then he started to enjoy it, reading about the life of the strange and alluring Hatheren he had fallen in love with, but for some reason, stopped loving.
It hadn't been the fact that she had taken Aro's side, it had been because he was trying to accept their fate. There was nothing left for them. She was forced to stay at the Volturi. He was lucky he got to see her at all that last time.
In the last journal, a small piece of paper fell out and fluttered to his feet. He picked it up and opened it, it was a small note for him.
Edward,
I love you, I really do, and I'm sorry that I have affected your life like this, I only hope that you can pull good memories from these books.
Live your life Edward, love again and again, and hopefully, you'll find someone who isn't as complicated as Bella and I.
Hanna.
