Kindle Notes & Highlights
Somewhere, far, far away in the cold forest, a wolf howled.
“Go have fun,” I’d told him. “Bag a few mountain lions for me.”
I’ll be back so soon you won’t have time to miss me. Look after my heart—I‘ve left it with you.
He loves you more than you know. It terrifies him to be away from you.”
“Sleep, my Bella. Dream happy dreams. You are the only one who has ever touched my heart. It will always be yours. Sleep, my only love.”
“You. That’s what I’m keeping. You’ll always be my Bella, you’ll just be a little more durable.”
I looked around the room at their faces—Jasper, Alice, Emmett, Rose, Esme, Carlisle… Edward—the faces of my family.
“I’m in love with you, Bella,” Jacob said in a strong, sure voice. “Bella, I love you. And I want you to pick me instead of him. I know you don’t feel that way, but I need the truth out there so that you know your options. I wouldn’t want a miscommunication to stand in our way.”
Emmett grinned. “Fall down again, Bella?” I glared at him fiercely. “No, Emmett. I punched a werewolf in the face.”
“Isabella Swan?” He looked up at me through his impossibly long lashes, his golden eyes soft but, somehow, still scorching. “I promise to love you forever—every single day of forever. Will you marry me?”
“What’s up, Bella?” he asked with a big grin. I rolled my eyes. “Same old, same old.” “Yeah,” he agreed. “Bunch of vampires trying to kill you. The usual.” “The usual.”
“The clouds I can handle. But I can’t fight with an eclipse.”
“It’s a good thing you’re bulletproof.” I sighed. “I’m going to need that ring. It’s time to tell Charlie.”
He once again slid my ring into place on the third finger of my left hand. Where it would stay—conceivably for the rest of eternity.
