Edward's Volvo turned off the paved highway and onto a long serpentine dirt road, it reached a small meadow, in the center of which sits a timeless graceful house.

Brea looked out the window....her jaw dropped.

"It's.....beautiful," Brea smiled.

"You expected turrets, dungeons and moats?" Edward smirked.

"N-no not the moats," Brea laughed.

Edward gently took her hand, and walked her up the stairs and inside.

"It's so light and open," Brea smiled, taking in the beautiful house.

"Thanks to tinted windows...It's the one place we never have to hide," Edward said.

Brea looked up when she heard a loud noise coming from upstairs.

"I-I told them not to do this," Edward sighed.

"I think it's sweet! No one has ever made food for me," Brea smiled.

"B-but you've already eaten," Edward said.

"A-and? They've gone through so much trouble, what's the harm? Brea replied.

Edward gazed down at her... every second he spends with her, he falls deeply in love with her.

They both enter the kitchen...Dr. Cullen, Emmett, Rosalie and an unfamiliar face were making Vegetable garden pasta, Brea's mouth watered when she smelled the air.

"Brea! We're making you Vegetable garden pasta!" The unfamiliar woman smiled.

"This is Esme, my mother for all intents and purposes," Edward smiled.

"Wow! This smells wonderful!" Brea said.

"You've given us an excuse to use the kitchen for the first time," Dr. Cullen replied.

.

Edward looked down at her and smiled.

"I hope you're hungry!" Esme said.

"Oh, Absolutely!" Brea replied.

They all looked at her and smiled.

Brea sat at the counter and took a big bite of the pasta, her mouth watered. She looked up and noticed everyone looking at her...intrigued.

"We don't mean to stare," Esme said.

"Oh no, it's okay," Brea laughed.

Edward walked beside her and took the plate away... Brea tried taking another bite but he took the fork away too. Brea frowned.

"It was amazing! I give it five stars!" Brea smiled.

"Next time, we'll cook something better," Esme laughed, pulling Brea in for a hug.

"Hi, Brea!" Alice greeted. Jumping off the rail, holding a bouquet of wildflowers...

Alice placed a kiss on Brea's cheek.

"Alice," Edward growled.

"It's alright! Brea and I are friends," Alice smiled.

"Hi, Jasper," Brea smiled. Looking over at Jasper.

Edward grabbed Brea's hand... and led her away from his family.

"I'll give you a tour of the house," Edward whispered.

"I'll see you soon!" Alice called out.

Edward snapped his head towards his sister... Alice giggled which caused Brea to smile.

They walked up another flight of stairs, Brea stopped when she noticed a dozen of artistically arrayed silk squares with tassels. Brea looked closer.

"Graduation capes?" Brea asked.

"A private joke! We matriculate a lot," Edward laughed.

"What a nightmare, repeating high school," Brea smiled.

"True, but the younger we start out in a new place, the longer we can stay there," Edward sighed.

Edward led Brea into a room, she looked around.

"And this is my room," Edward said.

"So you're obsessed with music and reading. But no bed?" Brea asked, walking around looking at all the old worn out books.

"I don't sleep," Edward smiled.

"Ever?" Brea questioned.

"No nightmare, no drool, no snoring," Edward laughed.

Brea walked over to the large wall, where he had all of his music. She ran her finger along the wall, studying the titles.

"Do you have any favorites?" Edward asked, walking closer to her.

"Depends. I listen to almost everything. Alternative? Jazz? Sixties, seventies," Brea listed off.

"Ohh, she knows her music. Alright! Nineties. Eighteen-nineties. Classical," Edward said.

"I'd have to say....Debussy!" Brea smiled.

Edward looked at her with such surprise.

"My favorite, too," Edward smiled.

Edward turned the CD player on... a solo piano version of CLAIR DE LUNE started to play.

He takes her hand and pulls her close. And soon they started dancing. Brea pulled away and laughed.

"I-I don't really dance," Brea said.

"Ever?" Edward asked, knowing she was lying.

"Well, only behind closed doors... with my sister," Brea replied.

"I can always make you," Edward smirked.

"You don't scare me," Brea smiled.

"You really shouldn't have said that," Edward said.

Edward growled... Brea laughed and backed out of the door, onto Edward's deck.

Brea backed up to the rail... Edward appeared in the doorway, standing in a half-crouch, about to pounce,

"Don't you dare!" Brea laughed.

Suddenly, she's airborne as Edward tackles her and they fly off his deck, where she then found herself in a tree.

She wrapped her arms around Edward... and started to laugh, Edward gazed at her and quickly started to laugh heartily with her. Both feeling very much alive.

Edward looked Brea in the eye.

"Trust me?" Edward asked.

"Always!" Brea smiled.

"Then close your eyes," Edward said.

She does as she is told. Edward grips her more firmly, then leaped to another tree. Climbing to the very top.

"Open!" Edward said.

Brea opened her eyes..... She takes in the breathtaking view, while Edward gazed at her.
