Eclipse (The Twilight Saga, #3)

by Stephenie Meyer

“Do you really have any idea how important you are to me? Any concept at all of how much I love you?”

I’ll be back so soon you won’t have time to miss me. Look after my heart—I’ve left it with you.

“You. That’s what I’m keeping. You’ll always be my Bella, you’ll just be a little more durable.”

“He’s like a drug for you, Bella.” His voice was still gentle, not at all critical. “I see that you can’t live without him now. It’s too late. But I would have been healthier for you. Not a drug; I would have been the air, the sun.” The corner of my mouth turned up in a wistful half-smile. “I used to think of you that way, you know. Like the sun. My personal sun. You balanced out the clouds nicely for me.” He sighed. “The clouds I can handle. But I can’t fight with an eclipse.”
