You put on a good show,” she said slowly. “But I’d be willing to bet that you’re suffering more than you let anyone see.
Of course, I’ll always love you... in a way. But what happened the other night made me realize that it’s time for a change. Because I’m... tired of pretending to be something I’m not, Bella. I am not human... I’ve let this go on much too long, and I’m sorry for that.
Cathy’s a monster, but there were a few things she got right″ I muttered. I read the lines quietly mostly to myself. ″ If all else perished, and he remained, I should still continue to be; and if all else remained, and he were annihilated, the universe would turn to a mighty stranger.″ I nodded, again to myself. ″I know exactly what she means. And I know who I cant live without.
Could you warn me beforehand? The next time you decide to ignore me? For my own good, or whatever. Just so I’m prepared.
Seth growled. Overreaction? And attacking our allies without warning isn’t? Seth, you ever heard of a poker face?
Good,” I said. “Um, can I ask why you’re so mad? Did I do something?”. She exhaled in a sudden gust. “Don’t be stupid, Beau.” “Sorry.
He kissed me back for a moment, but I could tell he wasn’t as into it as before. Worrying, always worrying. How different it would be when he didn’t need to worry about me anymore. What would he do with all his free time? He’d have to get a new hobby.
Is it possible to go fifteen minutes without an unnecessary apology?
Tell me more.” I didn’t really care what she said, I just wanted to listen to her voice.
Will I see you tomorrow?” “Do you want to?” she whispered. “More than anything else I’ve ever wanted.” It was pathetic how obviously true the words were. So much for playing hard to get.
It looked like I was going to have to do something about Mike, and it wouldn’t be easy. In a town like this, where everyone lived on top of everyone else, diplomacy was essential. I had never been enormously tactful; I had no practice dealing with overly friendly boys.
My primary motivation behind buying a car, despite the scarcity of my funds, was that I refused to be driven around town in a car with red and blue lights on top. Nothing slows down traffic like a cop.
It was like waking up from a dream – the kind you didn’t want to lose, the kind you kept your eyes closed tight for, rolled over and covered your head with a pillow for, trying to find a way back in.
Rushing into things blind isn’t going to help us win.
I can’t argue with you about the bad things.” “Well, there you go.” “But you’re the least ordinary person I’ve ever met.” Our eyes held for a long moment. Mine searched hers, as I tried to believe she could see something important enough to keep her here. It always felt like she was just about to slip away, to disappear like she was only a myth after all.
It’s not fair to judge people on their thoughts. Those are supposed to be private. It’s actions that count.
You want something, Ian?” “Sure, kid. I want you to tell Jared he’s shameless.
How did you sleep?” she asked. I wondered if she knew just how irresistible her voice was, if she made it that way on purpose.
He went back to the TV, and after I finished washing the dishes by hand – no dishwasher – I went upstairs unwillingly to work on my math homework. I could feel a tradition in the making.
Should I say ‘have fun,’ or is that the wrong sentiment?” “‘Have fun’ works as well as anything.” She grinned. “Have fun, then.” I tried to sound enthusiastic, but of course she wasn’t fooled. “I’ll try. And you try to be safe, please.”“Should I say ‘have fun,’ or is that the wrong sentiment?” “‘Have fun’ works as well as anything.” She grinned. “Have fun, then.” I tried to sound enthusiastic, but of course she wasn’t fooled. “I’ll try.
