An unusual call from Esme has Carlisle feeling confused and leaving work early.

Sometimes getting over your first love isn't easy. That's what Edward comes to realize after his and Bella's paths cross months after breaking up. But she's not alone and the person she is with leaves Edward with many questions and more regrets than he thought possible. Could it be too late to reconcile?

Christmas time is a season to be merry and bright. It's also a time when emotions are high, and arguments happen.
