Summary: When Edward Cullen is hired to work on heartbroken writer Isabella Swan's house, will he end up fixing a lot more than just her house?


1.

They'd had it all planned out.

They were going to get married in the garden of their new house, once the carpenters had finished working on it, of course. Bella would wear a white flowing dress and Liam a fancy gray suit that he'd picked out. For their honeymoon, they would go to Italy because Liam always wanted to go there. Bella's mom would take care of the dogs.

In a couple of years, they would have kids, at least three, because Liam loved children, and they'd be the picture of a happy family. Bella would sell her Mustang and buy an SUV to cart around the kids. They'd have barbeques in the backyard and maybe a horse or two in the old barn out behind the house. They would be happy, beautiful, and carefree, living the life Liam always dreamed about.

Except, it turned out, that Liam always dreamed of living the life of a vagabond, traveling the world with a raven-haired photographer whose piercing blue eyes had him falling before he even asked Liam to take off with him. A week after they had moved into the new house, Liam left with a superficial "sorry," and "this was never your dream anyway." Leaving Bella alone in the old two-story house, with the torn wallpaper, creaky floors, and barren rooms.
