I never noticed before how he had progressively carried more and more weight. My humanity and his immortality; the call of my blood and his unending thirst; my insecurities and stubbornness; his desperation to keep me safe; my precipitous abandon towards all things dangerous; his sacrifice of his own feelings to protect me; the guilt of his abandonment; the consequences of my relationship with Jacob…every little thing further weighed him down. Today was just the day that he finally succumbed to the burden.

Bella finally sees Edward not as the God she has placed upon a pedestal, but as the man that he truly is. A man that can be broken by the betrayal of his one true love. It is told through the guilty eyes of the woman who tears his heart apart without a second thought, only to realize he too is breakable. She is forced to see all of her actions and insecurities and see what they have done to her love and what she has to do to bring him back to her.

Moonlight Cove Private School is a boarding school in the small town of Forks, WA.  The school is full of the rich, spoiled teenagers of some the country’s wealthiest families.  The return of the Cullen family to the school after an extended family trip coincides with the start of a new student, Isabella “Bella” Swan. 

Bella stumbles onto Edward Cullen playing the piano in an empty room her first night at Moonlight Cove.  It becomes a nightly thing for her to sit near the classroom and listen to him play but she never goes into the classroom.  Soon, she starts leaving music for him to play on the piano.  He sets out to find the person behind the sheet music being left for him.  He just knows that the person who seems to know exactly what to leave for him each night is the one for him.  Little does he know that she is right outside the door every night, listening and waiting.
