“The attic smelled of dust and old memories, a scent Bella had grown accustomed to over the past few weeks. Afternoon sunlight slanted through the round window, casting long shadows across the cramped space. She’d started coming here more often lately, seeking refuge from Edward’s suffocating presence and Alice’s constant visions. The vampires’ enhanced senses made it nearly impossible to find privacy elsewhere in the house, but here, surrounded by layers of ancient wood and thick insulation, she could finally breathe. They wouldn’t think to look for her here. Vampires, with their perfect recall, rarely saw the appeal in dusty spaces.”

Jasper leaned back, his golden eyes glinting with amusement as he spoke. “You’d think a rattlesnake rejecting suitors for improper sand displacement would be the strangest part, but then Elias decided we needed a venue ‘worthy of her sophistication.’ Next thing I know, we’re inspecting rocks for optimal basking potential while roadrunners take bets on romantic success.” He chuckled softly. “Kaya, our love-struck serpent, watched it all with regal indifference, though Elias swore she was secretly enjoying the chaos. By the time coyotes started offering ‘consulting services’ to rejected suitors, I realized I wasn’t just in a desert—I was in a comedy.”

Jasper stood motionless at the edge of a frozen lake, the aurora borealis casting ghostly hues across the snow. The emotions of his family swirled in his mind: Rosalie’s fury, Emmett’s frustration, Alice’s guilt, Edward’s self-loathing. Each one clawed at his control, amplifying the guilt he already carried. His golden eyes traced the icy expanse, seeking solace but finding none. “Maybe I need to walk away,” he muttered, the words vaporizing into the cold air. The stillness mocked him, a reminder that even in isolation, he couldn’t escape the weight of his gift—or the consequences of their fractured unity.

“We don’t have to…” he gestured upward. “Emmett’s games don’t have to mean anything.”
But something in his eyes told me they could mean everything, if we wanted them to. The choice, as always with Jasper, was mine to make.
I took a step closer to him, watching his eyes darken slightly. “What if I want them to?”
The air between us seemed to crackle with electricity. Jasper’s eyes searched mine, and I felt waves of his emotions – hope, desire, and underneath it all, a touch of uncertainty.
“Bella,” he breathed my name like a prayer. “Are you sure? Because once I kiss you…”
“Once you kiss me?” I stepped even closer, surprising myself with my boldness.
His hand came up to cup my cheek, thumb brushing softly across my skin. “Once I kiss you, darlin’, there’s no going back.
