the summer i was ten

[deepest_magic]

Bella is ten. School has let out; she spends one week at the beach with Renée, celebrating, and then from there Renée drives her up to Forks, and drops her off, with many hugs. Charlie picks her up, with some hugs, although not as many; it's not his way. Bella settles in for the summer. It is, if nothing else, cooler up here.

There is a new kid in town. Her name is Elizabeth Kirsch and she has an aunt named Christine, who goes by Chris and works as a computer security consultant. They moved here a few months ago.

She finds Bella within a few days of her arrival.
