Deliberately, Edward never allowed much time to pass between visits with his family. After spending roughly one hundred years with them, he supposed it was only natural to miss them after only a brief time apart.

He had also just purchased a brand new Aston Martin and Edward was positive that Rosalie would love to see it… and be the first person to take a ride in it. Speeding into the driveway of Rosalie’s home, Edward knew that his sister would hear the idling engine and immediately be drawn out. When his prediction was correct, Edward smiled, and paid little attention to the thoughts running through Rosalie’s mind. “I bought a car,” Edward said, stating the obvious. “I could use a mechanic to look over it. I could also use someone to take it for a spin with me. I was thinking a Mount Baker road trip,” Edward offered.

Composing music had always been one of Edward’s greatest passions. Music was a love that was deep and soulful for him, as it had been for decades. Although he had always done it privately, the privacy — an ironic statement considering the internet — that an alias provided was the first time Edward allowed himself to compose as a career. There was some sorrow in allowing others to play his music, of course, but for a vampire, few things came without cost. Even his love for Bella had a price — her mortality, her soul, although Edward knew that conversation was pointless. Besides, for Nessie, it was all worth it in the end.

Currently, Edward sat at the piano in their home, working on a new piece inspired by his family. That was a song he would never sell, like many he composed for Bella and Renesmee. “Bella,” he said, his fingers continuing to move over the keys as she entered the room. Edward looked at his wife with a warm smile as he said, “You look exquisite as always.” Occasionally, he missed the flush in her cheeks, but Edward cherished a hundred lifetimes far more than he missed Bella’s warmth and clumsiness. “I’m working on a song for you,” Edward said. “But that can wait if you’d like to go on an adventure. We could run to Yosemite,” he suggested.
