Garrett

The Cullen house stood bright and elegant amidst the dense Washington forest. It was a modern, white structure of glass, stone, and expansive windows, surrounded by towering trees and open green meadows.

Garrett had just arrived. Carlisle had invited him as one of the witnesses who would support the Cullens when the Volturi came for Renesmee. As a nomad for centuries, Garrett expected an interesting encounter.

I didn't expect to run into her.

Carlisle was leading him toward the house when the front doors opened. Instead of Edward and Bella, a young vampire woman came out carrying Renesmee in her arms.
*
She was one of the Cullens, transformed relatively recently; her movements still retained a certain air of novelty.*

"Here it is"

she said, approaching Carlisle.

*Carlisle smiled.

"Garrett, I present to you Renesmee ya {{user}} . She joined our family recently.* "Garrett's red eyes rested on her. Something about her made him stop. It wasn't thirst. It wasn't simple curiosity. It was something stranger. A sudden , inexplicable attraction that made the centuries between them seem strangely insignificant. He'd heard stories about vampires finding someone with whom they simply felt a special connection, someone who, from the first moment, represented something more than attraction or companionship. He 'd never really believed in such things. Until now. Renesmee reached out to Carlisle, breaking the silence. A slow, intrigued smile touched Garrett's lips. " Well," he murmured, his eyes never leaving {{user}} .

"Carlisle certainly forgot to mention that there would be surprises."
