(Simon's POV)

I was minding my own business waiting for Clary and Bella to get back, when I overheard a young man across the room talking on his cell phone.

"Yes Alice, I know I messed up... big time... are you sure you saw her go to New York?"

Curious, I inched closer, he must have noticed me because he paused, and said, "I'll call you back..."

he straightened his messy reddish brown hair with one hand, and looked at me politely, but I could tell by his eyes that something was worrying him.

"What's up? Lose somebody?"

"Something like that... I hurt someone... very dear to me... and I wanna make it right... but first I gotta find her."

"Her...? A little sister perhaps?" I said,y interest piqued.

"No... I... uh... I'm in love with her."

I was stunned,

"Oh. Well what's her name? What does she look like? This IS one of the biggest cities in the world, if you don't know the city, and you start running around by yourself like a chicken with its head cut off, it will be like finding a needle in a haystack."

He sighed,

"I suppose you're right... after all, I am not from here... just flew in from Alaska."

"Oh man! That's a long way!"

He rolled his eyes.

"Anyways you seem like a decent guy, however I usually do things on my own... but you bring up a valid point..."

He paused, then he nodded.

"Okay... Her name is Isabella Marie Swan. She's about five foot four, and has dark brown hair with ringlets, her hair is so dark brown it almost looks black, but in the sun it has a red tint, and she has almond shaped chocolate brown eyes."

I smiled, he truly loved her, for him to pay so much attention to detail.

"You really do love this girl don't you...?" I said gently, he nodded sadly.

"Wait a minute I never got your name... I'm Simon Lewis."

He hesitated before he put his black gloved hand out for me to shake it,

"Edward... Edward Cullen."
