I like the night. Without the dark, we’d never see the stars.
Fall down again, Bella?? No, Emmett, I punched a werewolf in the face.
I decided as long as I’m going to hell, I might as well do it thoroughly.
The bond forged between us was not one that could be broken by absence, distance, or time. And no matter how much more special or beautiful or brilliant or perfect than me he might be, he was as irreversibly altered as I was. As I would always belong to him, so would he always be mine.
Even more, I had never meant to love him. One thing I truly knew – knew it in the pit of my stomach, in the center of my bones, knew it from the crown of my head to the soles of my feet, knew it deep in my empty chest – was how love gave someone the power to break you.
You are my life now.
You’re not asleep, and you’re not dead. I’m here, and I love you. I have always loved you, and I will always love you. I was thinking of you, seeing your face in my mind, every second that I was away. When I told you that I didn’t want you, it was the very blackest kind of blasphemy.

So this was different. I was amazing now – to them and to myself. It was like I had been born to be a vampire. The idea made me want to laugh, but it also made me want to sing. I had found my true place in the world, the place I fit, the place I shined.
So you see, Hell’s not so bad if you get to keep an angel with you.
I want you, and I want you forever. One lifetime is simply not enough for me.
It was not going to be the end of the world. Just the end of the Cullens. The end of Edward, the end of me. I preferred it that way – the last part anyway. I would not live without Edward again; if he was leaving this world, then I would be right behind him.
I prefer brunettes.
I’m dead, right? I did drown. Crap, crap, crap! This is gonna kill Charlie.
Nudity was an inconvenient but unavoidable part of pack life. We’d all thought nothing of it before Leah came along. Then it got awkward.
I hear voices in my mind and you’re worried that you’re the freak,” he laughed.
