TOGETHER WITH THEIR FAMILIES REQUEST THE HONOR OF YOUR PRESENCE at the celebration of their marriage. Isabella Marie Swan and Edward Anthony Masen Cullen.

Daisy smiled as she read the wedding invitation to Bella and Edward's wedding but the smile didn't quite reach her eyes. She didn't even know that they were engaged, she thought that at least Bella would text her to inform her about the news but this was the first time she heard of it. She then glanced at the date, August 13th. 

Caius stood next to her, watching her carefully, awaiting her reaction. "You want to go?" he asked.

"Of course I want to go," she replied. "Do you want to come with me?" she added cautiously.

Caius scoffed. "Like I would let you go alone in their home."

"You would do that to me?" Daisy smiled softly. "You hate the Cullen's," she pointed out.

"I love you more than I hate-" Caius stopped abruptly, and both of them seemed to realize it at the same moment. The air around them grew still as the weight of his confession settled between them. Without realizing he admitted that he loved her.

Daisy felt her heart swell with emotion, a rush of warmth flooding her veins. Though Caius was rarely speechless, he stood there, seemingly unsure of what to say. It was evident that he hadn't meant to express those words right then and there, but it was equally clear that he meant them.

And then, with a quiet reverence, she whispered those three little words that held so much power and meaning. "I love you too, Caius."

His spell seemed broken by her words. As they hung in the air, filled with a vulnerability she had never known before, she felt his arms envelop her in a tight embrace. His touch was both gentle and reassuring, grounding her in the moment as if anchoring her to reality.

And then, as if unable to contain the overwhelming surge of emotion within him, Caius pulled back slightly to meet Daisy's gaze, his eyes searching hers with an intensity that took her breath away. "Say it again," he whispered, his voice a soft plea that sent shivers down Daisy's spine.

With a trembling voice, she uttered those three little words once more, each syllable filled with all the love and longing she held in her heart. "I love you," she said, her voice barely above a whisper, yet carrying the weight of a lifetime of longing and devotion.

Caius's expression softened, his features illuminated by a radiant smile that lit up the room. Without a word, he pulled her close once more, his arms wrapping around her in a tight embrace as if never wanting to let her go.


DAISY WAS LAYING ON HER BED, her phone clutched in her hand as she texted Bella. After receiving the wedding invitation, she congratulated them on both their engagement and the upcoming wedding. Bella seemed a little taken aback by the news of Daisy's attendance at their wedding.
