Just a warning that this story will be a little OOC and is definitely AU, even if it's not clear yet.

You Know That I Know by Jack White

Cello Sonata, L 135 by Claude Debussy

I had peered into the room on the second floor first, but it was a sleeping Alice that resided in there. The room had been painted blue, and was already decorated. I looked around from the closed window and saw books of all genres strewn about on the floor. There were picture frames, some empty, some with pictures of scenery of everything from seascapes to snowy mountains. I wondered if she had taken them herself.

There were also several sketchbooks stacked on a small desk next to a giant old computer. Sleeping Alice was clutching on a small sketchbook, and it looked like she had smeared charcoal on her cheek. I wondered if she was laying on it.

The room next to Alice's housed a heavily sleeping Charlie Swan, who was snoring so loudly I had heard it from a mile away. I dropped down from the second floor with a soft noise, leaving foot prints in an empty garden area. I kicked dirt over it and walked over to another window. I heard light breathing coming from inside, and I peered in.

He was still awake! I was horrified, I felt a light grumble come from my chest. It was too late for him to still be awake, and not only that, but he looked exhausted. The bruises under his eyes were almost as dark as my own became when I was thirsty, and his eyes looked lacklustre and tired.

He wasn't doing anything, just sitting on his small bed in this cramped little room. It wasn't designed to be a bedroom for a young man, rather a small home office or a storage room. It looked to me like Edward would barely fit on the bed if he was laying down.

It felt like eternity had past before he moved. He stood, stretching his long, gorgeous limbs, and grabbed the pillow and blanket off the bed. He padded out of the room, giving me an opening to slide open the well oiled window and slip into the house to follow him.

I had assumed he would fall asleep on the large plush couch in the living room, but he moved upstairs, his steps causing squeaks in the floorboards. I watched as he opened the door to Alice's room and flirted up the stairs and into the room, stepping lightly and melting into the shadows of the night.

Alice didn't even stir as Edward dropped his pillow and blanket on the floor and carefully removed the sketchbook from her grasp. He wiped at her cheek tenderly, trying to remove the charcoal she had smudged there.

My chest hurt. He was so sweet and kind, taking care of his sister so carefully. It was almost as if he sensed me, too, he looked in my direction near the closet I was tucked into. He just shook his head and carefully deposited the sketchbook on top of the others on the desk.

His eyelids looked heavier now, his feet shuffling as he moved about the room. He crouched down and rolled onto his back on the wooden floor. I heard his back crack, and he sighed softly, resting his head on the lumpy pillow and covering as much of himself as possible with the small blanket. His eyes closed and his breathing evened out almost immediately. My Edward was so tired.

After enough time had passed for me to ensure that they were both in a deep sleep, I moved from my place in the closet. Edward looked strangely comfortable laying on the floor, his face was peaceful in his sleep and he looked so much younger. I kneeled next to him as if in prayer and studied his beautiful face.

He had this sharp jaw that was so intense one didn't usually see a feature so perfect on humans, and a straight nose that looked like it had been broken once or twice from the crookedness and bump on his maxillary bone. He had high, heroin chic cheekbones that were likely so prominent from a lack of nutrition and anemia. His silky hair was stuck up in all directions, he had clearly been pulling at it often. I reached down to touch it, but pulled my hand back before I made contact. I didn't want our first touch to be when he was unconscious.

I had been monitoring their breathing, but I stole a peak at Alice. She was smiling in her sleep, like she had a wicked little secret and was going to keep it to herself. I smiled back at her. I hadn't seen a human sleep in a very long time, I was very relaxing and peaceful. I envied their time spent away from reality, and their ability to just easily relax and drift away.

I found myself lying next to Edward on the floor, curled up next to him on my side, just staring at his profile until dawn broke. Once light began seeping into the room, I thought it best to slip away, lest I be caught in the house.

Charlie was awakening for the morning in the next room when I quietly opened the door and ran downstairs to leave through the window. I didn't leave, though. I couldn't bring myself to leave Edward after I had just spent an entire night laying by his side.

I jumped into one of the pine trees and clutched the trunk as I watched through the bedroom window. It was raining again, of course, so I would have to go home and shower again eventually before school. And I would be seeing Edward outside of school while he was awake today! I decided to wear something nicer, something more Rose's speed, I wanted to look good for the first time in my existence.

Edward and Alice were still sleeping when Charlie peeked into the room. He didn't seem at all surprised to see Edward laying on the floor- I assumed it was not the first time he had done so- but Charlie just shook his head and closed the door, making his way downstairs to brew coffee.

When Edward began stirring, moving onto his side and his heart rate picking up, I jumped off the tree and made my way home to ready myself for the day.

I carefully selected my outfit- a soft grey sweater dress I had never worn, thin black leggings, and new, shiny black boots- before I showered quickly. I even blew my hair dry and combed it out.

I met Rose and Emmett in the car, both of them returning my bright smile. Nothing could bring me down when I knew that I would see Edward quite often in one day. Rose raced to school like a professional, and we pulled into our usual parking spot earlier than we had ever been. The parking lot was pretty much empty save for the rusty cards of some teachers.

Rose was behaving uncharacteristically kind, holding my hand instead of Emmett's and sitting with me on one of the benches at the school entrance. Emmett sat at another bench closer to the parking lot, pulling out his phone and playing some video game that involved a bird, giving us space.

"Bella, I want you to know that I am supportive," Rose said quietly, inaudible to humans despite the fact that none were around, "It's hard for me to think about bringing someone else into this life, but I understand the reason why. And I'm going to help in any way I can." Rose had never been one for long conversations, the mere fact that she initiated this one was surprising, she usually instead chose to communicate through body language.

"Thank you, Rose, I really appreciate it."

"So what's the plan?" She smiled at me darkly and wiggled her eyebrows, looking like a dangerous and conspiratorial goddess.

Sometimes I hate it, her effortless perfection. She was created with plush, red lips and luminous golden hair, an homage to the style of the glamorous time period she was human during. I had been a plain human and an average vampire. I hoped I would be up to the standards of someone as perfect as Edward.

"Bella, seriously?" Rose rolled her eyes at me, obviously attuned to my thoughts. If I could have blushed, I would have. I pushed the silly, self deprecating thoughts from my head and explained my plans to get Edward alone with the excuse of our biology project.

We were giggling like school girls, heads pressed together and whispering conspiratorially about boys, when students started pulling into the parking lot. It was still early, so it was only the students being dropped off by working parents, but Rose dropped her warm smile for a bitch face, winking at me with a twinkle in her golden eyes.

I heard his heartbeat coming, next to Alice's and Charlie's, muffled by the engine of a Crown Victoria. He was slumped in the back seat of the police cruiser, looking as dejected as a criminal would in that position. The cruiser pulled up in front of us and he slinked out, shuffling his feet as he walked past us into the school, the hood on his baggy green sweater up and covering his gorgeous hair. He didn't even look at me, he just kept his eyes cast down, fixed upon the ground, and disappeared through the white double doors.

Alice was talking to Charlie in the cruiser still, explaining that both she and Edward would have plans after school and wouldn't need a ride home. She smiled brightly at him, kissed his bearded cheek softly, and skipped out. He looked bewildered, but smiled back. I think Chief Swan enjoyed taking care of someone, and having someone kind of take care of him. It was sweet.

Alice was dressed plainly for Alice in green jeans and a black sweater, but she still stood out among the blandly dressed teens of Forks. She waved good bye to Charlie and danced over to the nearest bench, the one Emmett was sitting at. He kept his eyes purposefully on his phone, but looked up at her when she perched next to him. He wasn't used to humans approaching him the way they did me. Emmett was an intimidating vampire, large and bulky and strong by even our standards.

But Alice didn't seem to mind at all. She grinned at him before pulling out a small sketchbook and pencil and sketching away. Emmett was still staring at her, mouth parted in surprise. He turned to look at us and mouthed 'oh my god' at us.

Rose, too, had an expression of measured surprise written on her face. I shrugged at Emmett and smiled at him.

I had somehow become used to Alice's strangeness already, it was endearing and interesting, and she shared blood with my love, so how could I dislike her.

More students came rushing through, all of them throwing strange stares at Alice and Emmett. No one had ever dared approach my siblings, and here was this slip of a girl settled comfortably next to him. If they thought she was weird before, they definitely thought she was bizarre now.

Alice skipped off to her home room when the warning bell rang, and Emmett came over to lock hands with Rose and escort her to class.

"That was... different," I heard Emmett say, drawing a small laugh from Rose. I smiled after them, moving to get into the school and into homeroom by the next bell, before I was intercepted by two catty gossips.

"Bella, what the hell is going on!" Jessica cried shrilly, drawing stares from a few stragglers trying to get to class.

"We gave you the benefit of the doubt for one day, but seriously," Lauren said.

I yanked my arm from Jessica's manicured clutches, smoothing the silky fabric so it wouldn't wrinkle.

"I'm sorry if you were under the impression that we were best friends and my company is exclusive only to you," I said harshly, allowing some scope of my dangerous nature to leak into my tone and into my face. The adrenaline pulsed into their bloodstream, their pupils dilated, and their breathing picked up. I was triggering their autonomic nervous system. I automatically felt bad for scaring them so, but there was nothing else I could do. They stumbled away and ran into the school. I sighed and found my way to class long after the late bell rang.

Alice seemed very excited to see me in English. She had placed her bag on the seat next to her to reserve it for me, and waved enthusiastically, gesturing to the seat, the moment I walked in the door. I smiled in response, and she began her questioning.

"Where were you yesterday? I have you for Gym but you weren't there. Edward said you guys are lab partners, that's cool," her voice was like a flute prattling through Theobald Boehm. I trusted her implicitly.

"Yeah, Edward and I are lab partners. We actually have a project to work on today, and during the weekend, on local flora and fauna," I told her. She flashed that knowing smile at me and nodded, looking away to pull her sketchbook from her bag.

"Oh, I know. This weekend will be a perfect time to go hiking for the project. Nice and cloudy," she winked at me and turned to face the front of the room, pretending to listen to the lecture on 'Romeo and Juliet'. I was a little stunned. She definitely knew something, I just wasn't sure what, and she was purposefully cluing me in.

Alice hooked her arm in mine and walked me to my next class when the bell rang, promising to see me at lunch before dancing down the hall. She always seemed to leave me in a semi-stunned state.

I spend the rest of the day until lunch scanning the halls for my Edward. I caught his scent in the halls, and I could pick his heartbeat out in a sea of hundreds, but I never physically saw him, and it was driving me crazy. I had found him and I never wanted to leave his side, especially if I wouldn't be able to complete our bond for years.

I ran out of my fourth period class and was the first person to reach the cafeteria. I staked my claim on the same table as Tuesday's and pulled a steak sandwich with spinach out of my bag. I didn't plan on eating it, but passing it off to Edward. Esme had researched foods that would help with iron deficiency, and I wanted to have him gain some weight. He really was much too thin in comparison to these other boys.

Alice plopped down next to me and looked from the sandwich to me questioningly while pulling out her own. I watched Edward shuffle through the room out of the corner of my eye, deciding he might be slightly uncomfortable if I were to stare at him like I was a starving woman and he was my only sustenance- not exactly an inaccurate description.

He dropped next to Alice and picked at a peanut butter sandwich, bright eyes again directly avoiding my gaze. He was too cute; his ridiculously thick lashes were casting shadows on his gorgeous cheekbones. I wanted to ravage him.

He was scratching at the inside of his wrist, right hand stuffed through the left sleeve of his green sweater. I wondered what caused humans to scratch- Carlisle would know. I may be friends with them, but I really didn't know a much about their human habits.

Alice filled the silence with chatter about fashion, but not really in the way Jess and Lauren did. She was having a completely one sided discussion on the merits of producing affordable clothing in the US, then she moved on to talking about a new designer whose line featured models who looked like the everyday woman. It really was fascinating how cultured and intelligent someone so young could be, and that passion! Aside from mating and the thirst for blood and power, vampires didn't really typically have any real passions, it was so refreshing. I knew that if they ever truly met, Esme and Alice would get along like old friends.

Edward rose and almost ran out of the cafeteria the moment the bell rang, but when I made my way through the crowd, I found him standing at the door, waiting for me. I felt like giggling at my sweet boy. He even held the door open for me when we made it to the lab room.

We did draw stares in the hall, though, and not just from Jessica's group. Everyone seemed to be giving us disgusted glares. I felt predatory and territorial, I wanted to growl at anyone who dared give my beautiful boy a hard time. Children could be so catty and cruel and superficial.

It didn't even seem to phase Edward. His jaw always seemed to be clenched, I was worried he was damaging his teeth. And he always looked vaguely upset and uncomfortable in his body, with the whole slouched posture and shuffling feet.

Edward continued scratching at the inside of his arm and avoiding my gaze all throughout biology. We didn't get to actually work on our project, but Banner gave us a moment at the end of class to discuss it with our partners. I turned to face my crumpled Edward.

"So, where would you like to meet today? I'm afraid my house is out; it'll be too busy with my whole family there." Edward finally looked at me, his green eyes confused and questioning.

"Remember, we have to plan the weekend today?" I reminded him. I simply wouldn't take no for an answer, and Alice didn't say that Edward had plans when I mentioned it. I was momentarily frightened. What if Edward was meeting with another girl without his sister's knowing? But Edward nodded his agreement like he did, indeed, remember.

"It's a pretty nice day, we could go to Tilicum Park, it's just down the street. A lot of kids go there after school to hang out," and smoke weed and drink, I added mentally. I would keep Edward away from those kids, we would be in the pavilion instead of at the playground.

"In p-pu-public?" Edward again turned a delectable shade of pink. I really could get used to the blushing, it was almost worth him staying human. I couldn't wait to cause it for all sorts of naughty reasons.

"Well, unless you want to go hide in the woods..." I trailed off jokingly. The thought past through my head, taking Edward in the woods, finalising our bond and having my way with him. He looked at me again, surprised, and I redirected my inner monologue. Was it so obvious that I desired him greatly?

"I'll give you a ride? Meet me out front, okay?" Rose and Emmett could run home, take some alone time in the woods. I was the only person that Rose didn't mind allowing to drive her BMW, including her reckless driver of a husband.

He nodded and grabbed his bag when the bell rang, leaving the room quickly. I sat in the room until it emptied out, listening Edward's heartbeat fade out, still discernible, but farther away.

Alice poked her head into the lab room and smiled at me, always smiling that girl.

"You coming, Bella?" We did, indeed, have Gym class together, a blessing considering it was track month and I could run alongside her. Humans sure did get breathy when running, even Alice who looked to be in rather good shape. I made the effort to breathy heavily and unsteadily, but I didn't think it was going to fool Alice.

"How do you like Forks?" I asked. Alice just held up two thumbs in approval, focusing on her panting breaths as we rounded the track for the fifth time. We stopped on the sixth, far ahead of the rest of the group, and headed to the locker rooms for a shower.

I took a quick, unnecessary one and continued my questioning on a now steadily breathing Alice in the shower.

"What's living with the Chief like?" I asked, trying to not get too far in depth in their past. I didn't want to push.

"Oh he's a very nice man, the best home we've ever been in," Alice said while shampooing her hair from behind the filmy curtain.

"Why Forks?"

"Honestly? Not very many people want to take in two teenage siblings, much less a teenage boy. They're usually trouble." I hummed in agreement, most teenage boys were not exactly saints. Alice poked her soapy head out from behind the curtain, covering her body.

"Oh, but not Edward, he's good," she disclaimed heartily. I nodded. I knew he was good; how could he be anything but if I loved him so. "What your opinion on mandatory minimum sentencing?" Alice changed the subject rapidly, and I knew my questioning was over for the day.

"Oh, ummm, I think it depends on the crime..." and we discussed the justice system for the remainder of the period until I walked Alice to the library.

"Edward is in Spanish, he should be out soon," Alice said in parting. I made my way to the front of the school, leaning against the BMW. I was listening to Edward's heart beat faster than normal, still in Building 7, when Rosalie sauntered over to me.

"Good luck," she said with a smile, pressing her car keys in my palm. I couldn't help but pull her into a hug, I was so overwhelmed with love. If I couldn't express it to my Edward, I had to show it to someone.

I heard Edward leaving the school through the front doors, and I saw Emmett trailing right behind him. Emmett was smiling a toothy grin, dangerous teeth and all, and made his way over to us, grabbing Rose's hand and walking off with a wink. That couldn't be good. Edward had an elevated heart rate and I felt a flash of rage at Emmett for scaring my love.

Edward was all slouched and uncomfortable, scanning the parking lot, probably looking for me. I started the car and drove the 20 feet over to where he was standing.

"Hey, I'm here!" I yelled through the open passenger door window. He slipped into the car and scratched at his wrists again. I had put a Debussy CD in, something calming and loving, and noticed that Edward halted his scratching to tap out the keys to Claire de Lune. I felt the love grow, he had excellent taste in music and he could play. I couldn't wait to see him play, I would have to go buy a grand piano for him.

I pulled into the parking lot by the time Claire de Lune finished, out and grabbing the book from the back seat by the time Edward managed to trip out. I followed behind him to the pavilion, watching the way his long legs moved gracefully. I wanted to wrap my legs around his slim hips and stay there for an eternity.

He dropped unceremoniously on a wooden bench and pulled out his overused biology textbook. I didn't want to jump right in, I wanted to talk to him, to hear him say a sentence longer than three words.

I pulled out the steak sandwich I had rewrapped at lunch and handed it to him, grabbing an apple for myself to eat. And I would eat. He noticed when I didn't, and I couldn't be too careful. His stomach grumbles, and he opened the sandwich without protest, taking a bite. He hummed a little in appreciation, and I made note to thank Esme, and ask her to teach me to cook. Because Edward eating was... appetising. The way his full lips wrapped around the food, the way his mouth moved as he chewed, the way his eyes closed as he ate. I could watch it forever.

"So," I said, forcing myself to take a bite out of the crunchy fruit, "how are YOU liking Forks?" He was still looking down, always looking away from me.

"S'okay," he said, mouth full, flipping through the pages of the textbook. He seemed to be intently fake-reading a section on flatworm dissection.

"I'm relatively new here, too, you know? Moved here with my family a year and a half ago," I said after swallowing my masticated apple. It was sour and disgusting, and would be even worse coming back up later. He looked up at me, finally meeting my gaze, when I mentioned I was new, too. New by Forks standards at least. I was surprised no one gave him the low-down on the strange Cullen family the moment he stepped foot in the town. He wanted to know more, I could tell.

"Yeah, we move around a lot, too. Emmett and I were adopted by Carlisle, and Rose is Esme's niece. We're kind of a patched up, make shift family, but it works," I wanted him to relate to me so badly it hurt, I wanted him to talk to me, to tell me about himself.

"Alice and I a-are too," he said, "We m-m-make it wor-r-r-rk." His voice was so soft I wanted to wrap myself in it. And he was talking to me! Actually talking!

"I know, it's an adjustment, isn't it?" I commented, received a nod in response again.

"The sandwich is good, isn't it? My mother Esme made it. She's a fabulous cook, I can't wait until you try something fresh from the kitchen this weekend." There. An opening to talking about our plans for the weekend. And hopefully, the weekend would lead to a date.

"Weekend?" His eyes were wide and confused and gorgeous. I stopped myself from staring into them and falling in.

"Well, yes. I figured you would stay for dinner after we hiked, I'm not sure how long we'll be gone. I know the area pretty well, I'm a big outdoors person, so I know the perfect area we can collect samples from." I thought of my meadow, and Edward in it, blades of grass and pretty flowers caressing his soft flesh as he laid comfortably next to me, watching the clouds roll by.

"What d-do you s-s-s-s-s," he took a deep breath and looked at me before starting over, "What do you s-sug-g-gest for f-fauna?" He asked. I was so in love with this boy. I wanted to hold him.

"Oh, I have a pretty nice camera. Well, it's my brother's, but I can use it. I think if we've very quiet, we might be able to catch a picture of a deer," I swallowed a laugh, thinking about catching a deer.

"Cool." He thought I was cool! I launched into explaining my thoughts for the labelling of the project, rambling and caught in the excitement of talking to my mate, of being with him one-on-one.

I could happily say we were comfortable around each other by the end of the afternoon. He had spoken more and more, stringing together wordier responses than necessary. I had never had a more interesting or enthralling conversation in my entire than existence- and I had spoken to da Vinci! He was so intelligent and quick, our conversation was easy once he became more comfortable, and I couldn't even bother to fight the smile that was plastered on my face. I had never been happier in my entire life.

I drove him home in a comfortable silence, listening to the soft tunes of Debussy. I was enraptured with the way his fingers moved with the notes, tapping on his thighs. I wanted it to be my fingers on his thighs.

I pulled up to the Chief's house and got out. I could hear only Alice inside, in the kitchen or living room from where I placed her heartbeat. I let Edward lead me inside, he wasn't even questioning letting me come in without asking. I felt kind of stupid and rude, I should have waited for him to invite me, like a vampire in a movie. I swallowed another laugh at my inside joke, always giddy when I was in the presence of Edward, and was greeted by Alice at the door. Edward continued into the kitchen without looking back, dropping his bag on the counter and pouring himself water. Good. Water was good for humans, and he should probably drink more of it.

"Hi, Bella, come on it! Can I get you something to drink? No, right, of course," she giggled, "how was your afternoon? Edward wasn't too moody, was he?" I shook my head no, caught up in the whirlwind that was typical Alice.

"Alice," Edward warned from the kitchen, gulping down his second glass of water. She didn't even look his way, just rolled her eyes and continued.

"No, I'm sure you guys had a wonderful time. And you will again this weekend. Nice, cloudy weather, remember?"

"Yeah, it's going to be a nice weekend. My mother is going to be cooking," I contributed.

"That's nice. Is that your car, the one outside? Or is it your sisters?" Edward came out of the kitchen, holding a glass of just ice, and crunching down on one. I could tell it was terrible for his teeth, I could hear the enamel being scraped off.

"Oh, that's Rosalie's baby. She's a total car snob," Get used to it, Rose, they're family now.

"It's such a nice car. I love cars, too. It kinda sucks, having to be driven to school in a police car. It's not like we didn't get enough attention in the first place," Alice rolled her eyes and laughed, leading me into the living room and onto the couch. I saw my opening, it was almost like Alice was giving it to me.

"Oh, well, Alice, I could drive you guys in the morning if you want?" I really, really want to, please, Alice, say yes. I knew she would by the way her green eyes lit up.

"I don't want to put you out! What about your brother and sister?" She was just being polite, I could tell. Edward's heart rate had sped up, but he moved away from us and back into the kitchen. I could tell he was just standing in there, probably trying to listen.

"Emmett and Rosalie would probably enjoy the time alone. Besides, I have my own car. It's not as nice as Rosalie's, but..." I hadn't driven in what felt like forever, and this was the perfect excuse to spend as much time as possible with Edward and Alice. Perhaps I could even take them out to an early dinner after school, get both of them a large meal full of iron. And lots of water.

"Oh, thank you, Bella!" Alice threw her arms around my neck and squeezed me as tightly as she could. I tightened up, waiting for her to draw back in disgust at feeling my cold, dead skin. But she didn't, it didn't even seem to faze her. When she pulled back, she thanked me again.

"It's really nothing. You're on my way, anyways," I lied. I heard the cruiser pull up, and Charlie lumbered in.

"Hey guys, who's got that sweet ride?" He said happily. I stood to greet him, rubbing my hands together to try to create some friction and warm them so I could shake his hand.

"Hi, Chief Swan, I'm Bella Cullen, Edward's lab partner," and love and life and mate. I reached out my hand and shook his hot one. He pulled back almost immediately. "Sorry, poor circulation," I apologised. He shook his head and ignored my apology.

"Nice to meet you. You're one of Dr. Cullen's kids?" His voice was rough and his demeanour unpolished, but I could tell he was kind and gentle.

"Yes, I am, sir."

"How's the family?" He sat down on the loveseat next to Alice.

"Everyone is wonderful, thank you for asking, sir," I smiled at him. I really liked this man.

"Call me Charlie," he waved his hand, "You know, I gotta say, when they told me that a young couple was moving to town with their three adopted teenagers, I was a little worried." He trailed off, and his ears turned a little pink. I think he said more than he meant to, but I tended to have that effect on people, especially when I was smiling at them the way I was grinning at Charlie.

"I can imagine! Looks like you took a page out of Carlisle's book, though, fostering two teenagers." Alice grinned over at me and reached out to squeeze my hand. I was still waiting for her to run away screaming from touching my dead skin. Charlie turned even pinker. I stood up to leave, sparing him any more embarrassment.

"I really should be going. Esme will be expecting me for dinner," I smiled and Alice walked me out. Once I was out the door, Edward moved into the living room to sit with Alice as Charlie.

"So, was that her car?" I heard Charlie ask.

"N-no, it's her s-sister's," Edward answered, cutting off his sister. I smiled like a madwoman as I got in the car and drove away. It hurt every time Edward's heartbeat was out of my heading range. But I would get to drive tomorrow, and I would be sitting in Alice's closet waiting to lay with Edward the minute Alice fell into a deep sleep.

And in the car, that was the first time I touched Edward.

What's your favourite place to be touched?
