Takes place several years after New Moon. AU. Bella never went cliff diving, Edward never went to the Volturi. For years Edward has been forced to live with the pain of Bella’s absence in his life, knowing that it is no one’s fault but his own. How will Edward and his family react when Isabella Swan turns up as one of Carlisle’s intensive care patients and has no where to go? Will the mystery of her condition and the events that she has overcome in Edward’s absence be revealed?

Four weeks before her wedding to Edward, Bella is frustrated. She knows there's little-to-no chance of getting him to bend his rules and boundaries now, but there's no harm in fantasizing about what could happen later. So she begins compiling a list of things that she and Edward can do together once they're happily married. She's surprised to find she might be able to cross some things off earlier than she thought...
