IT WAS SUPPOSED TO RAIN ALL WEEKEND.

Carlisle told her this multiple times on the drive up. Don't get your hopes up for sunshine. The sky is predictable; rainy, wet, and showers.

Elise stepped out of the bathroom, hair wet from the shower, drying it with a towel. "Carlisle?" She called out, looking around for him.

The room was empty, and the curtains were closed. The bed was still messy, but only on the side she'd slept in. Elise frowned, shaking off her confusion and checking her phone. No word from anyone, but she sent a quick good morning to her sister, and another to Leah, to ensure both knew she was alive and vice versa.

Tossing the towel aside, Elise walked to the window and pulled open the curtains, smiling at the sun. Maybe she and Carlisle could go walking in the park below before they left. Elise made the bed and double checked her duffel bag, ensuring she'd packed everything. Grabbing her phone again, Elise flopped on the bed and let the sun hit her face.

"Elise?"

Elise turned, hearing Carlisle's voice, and walked over, opening it. A flash of something, the blinds closed, and then Carlisle was standing in front of the window.

"W-what, but you were...?" Elise turned around, then looked to him, then back to the door. "Oh my god," she whispered. "Bella was right."

"I can explain, Elise," he walked forward slowly, hands up in surrender. "I promise."

"I just — I'm — I'm confused."

"You should sit."

"But you were over here," Elise looked to the door, then him again. "What the fuck?"

Her head was swimming, but she took his advice, taking a seat on the bed, watching him stand awkwardly near the foot of it.

"I thought she was crazy," Elise shook her head. "Man, now I'm gonna owe her ten bucks."

Carlisle smiled at her words. "You're not screaming?"

"Dude," Elise sighed, looking up at him and shrugging. "You were kind of obvious last night with your questioning, now that I think about it."

"I'm confused by your reaction," he spoke carefully, "or rather, the lack thereof."

"You're a vampire," Elise shrugged. "It's cool."

She perked up, and grinned, looking up at him. "Wait, wait, let's make this more cinematic."

"I-I'm sorry?"

"Okay, stand there," Elise giggled, standing on the bed, giving her a bit of a height difference to Carlisle. "Yer a vampire, Carlisle."

Carlisle looked at her in complete disbelief and confusion.
