Abused as a child, never overcoming the pain, his heart is bound tight in the iron grasp of his determination to never be hurt again, so much so he’s even willed himself to believe that it doesn’t exist.
Enter Isabella Swan; unknowingly unravelling everything he ever thought he knew, everything he had put in place to separate himself from the world. And now he’s separated from her, because he wouldn’t let himself be loved. Feeling all the pain and anxiety of losing her, reliving the nightmares that she chased away, replaying their short relationship in his mind he finally realises how much he needs her.
It was amazing to see the revelation as he succumbed consciously to his love for Bella, still unable to call it love, but willing to do anything and everything he could to catch himself a Swan.
Beautiful, Icy, as always.
