OC x Carlisle Cullen When Bella Swan disappears after her wedding, her family is left with half-truths and unanswered calls. Weeks turn into months, and all Clara hears is that her sister is "sick" and "needs time." But Bella's distant words don't sound like her anymore - and the silence that follows feels like betrayal. As Bella's strange new life unfolds far away, Clara struggles to hold her family together - especially their father, who still believes his eldest daughter will come home. But when Bella finally reappears, changed in ways Clara can't explain, old wounds reopen. The sister she loved is both familiar and utterly foreign. Drawn into the orbit of the Cullens, Clara finds herself unexpectedly confiding in Dr. Carlisle Cullen - the man who once seemed only her sister's friend. His calm understanding becomes her anchor in a world that makes less and less sense. Yet the more she learns, the more she senses the truth he cannot tell her... and the quiet ache between them neither can admit. In a place where truth is deadly and love is no longer human, Clara must decide how much of her heart she's willing to risk for someone who stopped being mortal long ago.
