In Another Life

Summary: He’s someone else’s husband, and that alone should end all of my thoughts about Edward Cullen.

Snippet from chapter 3: 

“So, that was awkward,” I say as I crawl into bed next to Jared.

He’s on his phone, responding to an email. “What was?” he asks, typing away.

I rub lotion on my arms. “Edward and Gianna arguing like that.”

“Oh. I guess.”

“You didn’t think so?” I push.

“I don’t know. I’m not trying to get in the middle of it,” Jared says absently.

“I’m not either. Just thought it was strange, is all. They don’t bicker like that in front of us.”

“Hm.”

I can tell he’s not listening, and he doesn’t want to talk about this anymore. I don’t even know why I want to dissect it, really. It’s not like it was a huge blow-up fight or anything, but still. 

I know no marriage is perfect, but I never really got the vibe that Edward and Gianna had any problems whatsoever. Both are generally mild-mannered. They’re also not grotesquely affectionate with one another in public. They’re the type of easygoing couple who can fit in with anyone. 

That’s not to say they blend in, though. They stand out. They’re both striking in their looks. Gianna, with her glossy dark hair, naturally tan skin, and slender figure. Edward with his… well, everything, I guess. His sharp jaw. His intense, green eyes. His hair is a wreck most days, but it works well. Doesn’t matter if he’s going to the store or attending an event, his hair is chaotic, but it’s him. 

If I’m being honest, there’s been an attraction there since day one. I’d have to be blind to not admit that. The attraction for him doesn’t just stop at his looks, though. He’s dynamic. Funny. He’s rugged but in an understated way. He’s genuine and a talented author. A good father and a—

Loving husband.

He’s someone else’s husband, and that alone should end all of my thoughts about Edward.

But I’m human.

And Edward is too goddamn handsome for me not to notice.
