I was up later than usual that morning after a mostly sleepless night. After I heard the sound of Edward’s door creaking open, my mind buzzed with a million different thoughts; what was he doing? Where was he going? Were my twins safe?
But eventually, after listening for several minutes and hearing nothing, I managed to relax just enough to fall into a light sleep.

“Morning, sleepyhead,” he said softly, his eyes meeting mine in the mirror as he fastened his tie. “Twins are already taken care of. I’m taking Edward with me to the Council building, just like you wanted.”
A soft smile came across my lips as relief floode
