May I pretty please ask about your girl Josephine Riley and her relationship with Rosalie and Emmett?
of course you can !!! this will probably be more detail than you wanted but i was elected mayor of yap city for a reason.
so josephine is bella’s next door neighbor and the daughter of the clallam county sheriff, hank riley. (fc milo ventimiglia)
her story starts when bella moves back to town and they have a somewhat awkward reunion due to bella having just fully ghosted josephine after she stopped visiting forks altogether, (she and bella grew up together, they and jacob were pretty much inseparable as kids.) but they end up rekindling their friendship.
somewhere in between bella becoming interested in edward and fixing her friendship with jacob, josephine’s dad gets attacked while on duty. he’s kept in the hospital for a long time and isn’t allowed visitors. josephine is left alone and is frequently on the verge of a freakout as he’s the only parent she has left. in this time, it’s clear she’s being taken care of (waking up to breakfast already made, permission slips signed, bills still paid, gifts left in her locker) but she can’t tell by who — but the air always smells like very familiar perfumes and colognes.
eventually hank returns home but he’s… different, and a little more reclusive, and starts spending an obscene amount of time with the cullens — and eventually he ropes josephine in on this, too.
so josephine goes over to the cullens for dinner, and ends up having a really nice time. she helps with making dinner while her dad joins carlisle in his office, makes some nice small talk with the rest of the family, and she’s invited to sit in between rosalie and emmett (their request) at the table.
it’s clear there’s a vibe coming from the two of them, and josephine pieces together that they’re the ones who have been taking care of her.
a lot of their dynamic from then on is very acts of service based, especially with her dad spending so much extra time with carlisle. it’s kind of a struggle for josephine because she’s so guarded but rosalie and emmett are very open with their flirtations and their feelings. if josephine finds something at a store that she likes but can’t afford, it shows up at her home the next day. if she decides to skip out on something because she doesn’t have a way to get there, emmett or rosalie pull up in her driveway.
rosalie and josephine’s relationship is definitely rooted in friendship — sleepovers, shopping, going out for lunch, doing homework together, deep talks at late hours. josephine likes thet rosalie seems to have so much life experience despite being so young. rosalie only calls her josephine.
emmett and josephine are just so golden retriever x black cat. some frat bro x nerd girl type shit. josephine secretly finds him super funny and endearing, but she’d never tell him. he spends a lot of his time trying to make her laugh or showing off for her. emmett only calls her josie.
now, does she know they’re vampires? no. but she knows there’s something weird going on. i just haven’t decided when she truly finds out.
