THE EYE OF THE woods stared back at Lorelai. She hadn't moved yet, her feet planted on the line where grass faded into mud, where trees began to clump, where the woodland creatures hid.
Lorelai's life had molded to take a new shape now that the Cullens were gone. Every decision was made based on their absence. She stopped going to the hospital for her check-ups. She broke every routine she used to have with Jasper. For a while, the avoidance was her crutch. Now she was realizing that no matter how much she said she was fine, she was avoiding every memory she had of them. It was time to move on from that.
Today was her chance. She hadn't been in the forest since Jasper abandoned her, and today, she would take back her love for nature walks by herself.
