May the best man win That’s about right pup.
I could see elements of the stories in her makeup – characters that had shaped the context of her world. There was a bit of Jane Eyre in her, a portion of Scout Finch and Jo March, a measure of Elinor Dashwood, and Lucy Pevensie. I was sure I would find more connections as I learned more about her.
Se Carlisle era l’anima della famiglia, Esme ne era il cuore.
I’ll always want you, I warned him. Forever.
Poteva spezzarsi un cuore morto e gelido? Il mio sembrava potesse.
What I was doing was basking, drowning, wallowing in my love for Bella. I didn’t think it would be difficult to keep doing that.

Desideravo disperatamente essere normale, per poterla prendere tra le braccia senza mettere a rischio la sua vita. Per poter sbrigliare le mie fantasie, fantasie che non terminavano con le mie mani sporche del suo sangue e i miei occhi saziati di lei.

Pomegranate seeds and my underworld. Hadn’t I just witnessed a brutal example of how badly my world could go wrong for her?
The future isn’t set in stone. Things change.
How I had once wished to be able to dream of her! How I’d ached for that. And now, reality was better than dreams. I wouldn’t want to miss one second of it for any kind of unconsciousness.
