Summary
After their grueling time apart, Edward and Bella's relationship has seemingly stabilized and intimacy is moving in a positive direction... albeit a glacial one. Still, they're on a good path, growing closer and more comfortable after what was arguably Edward's most misguided attempt at keeping Bella safe.
It isn't until Edward catches an unexpected image in Jacob's mind that it dawns on him: Edward never asked about the extent of Bella and Jacob's physical relationship while he was away, or if such a relationship even developed between them at all.
As their own physical relationship evolves, Edward spends the following weeks trying to ignore his panic and jealousy—torn between asking Bella if she and Jake had become more than friends and pretending it wouldn't matter either way. Was the image in Jacob's mind a typical teen boy's fantasy, or worse... a memory of something real?
