Heart of thirst || Jasper Hale
Daphne Delacour, the French sweetheart, arrives in Forks like a vibrant splash of color in a monochromatic world. Her confidence, wit, and undeniable charm instantly captivate the mysterious Cullen family. But as she navigates their peculiar dynamics, especially the brooding, enigmatic Jasper, Daphne can't shake the feeling that there's more to them than meets the eye. Will her radiant presence shatter the Cullens' carefully constructed secrets, or will she find herself drawn into a world far more dangerous and thrilling than she ever imagined?
The chatter of Forks High School's parking lot hushed, eyes turning to the sleek grey Audi. Daphne Delacour, a vision in a white and rose tweed skirt and pale pink sweater, stepped out, a small smile playing on her lips. Whistles followed her confident stride. Her golden eyes, tinged with green, swept over the crowd, a chuckle escaping her. She was a vibrant anomaly in this dreary town, and she loved it.
Inside, the honey-blonde vampire Jasper Hale, on his way to Maths, collided with her. He caught her, his hands steadying her, and their eyes met. Her plump lips parted in shock, her perfectly plucked eyebrows raised. A name escaped his lips, a name she didn't recognize, as a jolt, unseen but deeply felt, passed between them.
