Chapter Three: Forehead KissI heard his key in the door before it opened.That sound. That specific small sound that, for four years, had made something in me relax, like a breath I’d been holding all day finally letting it go.But today was different. My jaw tightened. I pressed my hands flat against my thighs and stood at the foot of the stairs, watching the door swing open.Edward walked in looking rested.That was the thing that hit me first. Not guilt, tension, or even the smallest shadow of a man who had spent two days doing something worth hiding. He walked in like he always did, jacket over one arm and an easy smile already on his face, filling the doorway with the same confidence I had seen a thousand times before. Relaxed and completely unbothered.Before I could open my mouth, Margaret was already across the room."Edward!"She moved faster than I had ever seen her move for anything, her arms wide open, face lit up, crossing the living room like she hadn't seen him in year
