Edward
I looked at Connor with a fond smile as he spoke to my parents. He was shy, adorably so, but tried his best to engage even though I could see his pulse go crazy on his neck. He was nervous but trying to make a good impression.
It meant the world to me that he was willing to even entertain this. Six months ago he had a complete meltdown in Trinidad and now he joked around with Oksana just as if she was his little sister.
I admired his strength in trying. Most times my parents had seen us together. We were trying to bite each other's heads off and our fists were flying about. It was nice that we could be sensible and act like adults. Vasilisa was on her best behavior and engaged with Connor in her own way.
She was stressed about Demyan. I knew but I was thankful that they all remembered me. I didn't expect anything for today but the effort they went through touched my heart.
