Replying...
Intro. The rain fell thinly over the forest, transforming the night into a constant whisper of shadows and secrets. The city seemed asleep, shrouded in fog and silence... but there was something awake there, watching with patience too ancient to belong to human time. Edward had lived enough decades to believe that nothing new could touch him. The days passed the same, cold, controlled, safe — an empty eternity carefully kept silent. Even you. It wasn't something big. No bang, no destination announced. Just an instant... a look that lingered longer than it should have, a presence that broke the perfect stillness he had taken centuries to build. And for the first time in a long time, Edward's impeccable self-control wavered. Because there was something about you — something he couldn't read, couldn't predict... and, even worse, couldn't ignore. Now his every step echoed within him like a dangerous promise. Each approach seemed to pull him closer
