Kindle Notes & Highlights
“With Jacob there is a… conflict,” I said slowly. “A conflict about the friendship thing, I mean. Friendship doesn’t always seem to be enough for Jake.”
“Isn’t Edward up for a little healthy competition?”
Lol
I was also a little lightheaded, but that could have been because I’d forgotten to keep breathing. Again.
Jeez
Charlie’s eyes narrowed and he glared back and forth between the two of us. “Fine,” he muttered after a minute.
Lol
“I want to hurry,” I whispered, smiling weakly, trying to make a joke of it. “I want to be a monster, too.”
“You won’t let me be like that. We’ll live in Antarctica.” Edward snorted, breaking the tension. “Penguins. Lovely.”
“Edward, look at the facts. Seventy years ago, you came here, and the werewolves showed up. You come back now, and the werewolves show up again. Do you think that’s a coincidence?”
“If I’d never left, you wouldn’t feel the need to go risk your life to comfort a dog.”
Sure, I was free to go to anywhere I wanted—except La Push; free to do anything I wanted—except see Jacob.
I didn’t want to freak out and have him think I couldn’t handle it, whatever it was.
I was sure Charlie was going to turn sulky fast when he got home and found Edward here. Maybe I should make something extra-special for dinner.
If I had my way, I would spend the majority of my time kissing Edward. There wasn’t anything I’d experienced in my life that compared to the feeling of his cool lips, marble hard but always so gentle, moving with mine.
“The outside world holds no interest for me without you.”
I’d taken a perfectly normal afternoon and twisted it until it looked like Edward was going out of his way to keep things from me. I needed therapy.
“I’m not a child, Dad. And I’m not grounded anymore, remember?” “Oh yes, you are. Starting now.” “For what?!” “Because I said so.”
Lol
“You’d better hope I don’t mention this to her,” I said.
Calm dowN
“Ugh!” I groaned. “I really wish you were not forcing me to say this out loud, Dad. Really. But… I am a… virgin, and I have no immediate plans to change that status.”
Carlisle theorizes that it’s because their lives are so ruled by their transformations. It’s more an involuntary reaction than a decision. Utterly unpredictable, and it changes everything about them. In that instant when they shift from one form to the other, they don’t really even exist. The future can’t hold them.…”
“The way he watches you—it’s so… protective. Like he’s about to throw himself in front of a bullet to save you or something.”
He’s very intense about you… and very careful. I feel like I don’t really understand your relationship. Like there’s some secret I’m missing.…”
“The way you move—you orient yourself around him without even thinking about it. When he moves, even a little bit, you adjust your position at the same time. Like magnets… or gravity. You’re like a… satellite, or something.
“You should stick to romance, Mom. You know how you freak yourself out.”

“You’re back,” Jacob said.
Hay
It felt sort of like homesickness, this longing for the place and person who had sheltered me through my darkest night.
“If you don’t want to make dinner, I can call for a pizza,” Charlie hinted.

“I don’t have any leeches on my speed dial.”
“Overprotective, isn’t he?” Jacob said, talking just to me. “A little trouble makes life fun. Let me guess, you’re not allowed to have fun, are you?”
“I miss you every day, Bella. It’s not the same without you.”
Emmett had said, “I’m really glad Edward didn’t kill you. Everything’s so much more fun with you around.”
Edward had promised that he would change me himself whenever I wanted… just as long as I was married to him first. Sometimes I wondered if he was only pretending that he couldn’t read my mind. How else had he struck upon the one condition that I would have trouble accepting? The one condition that would slow me down.
She doesnt even wanna marry him
I’ll be back so soon you won’t have time to miss me. Look after my heart—I‘ve left it with you.
“Bella!” he yelled back, and the smile I’d been waiting for stretched across his face like the sun breaking free of the clouds.
“How did you get here?” “I snuck out!” “Awesome!”
“I wish Sam had taken a picture when he found you that night last September. It would be exhibit A.”
“You know I don’t really care. Anyway,
Lol
Do you realize that if you had just waited for me like you were supposed to, then the bl—Alice wouldn’t have been able to see you jump? Nothing would have changed. We’d probably be in my garage right now, like any other Saturday.
“He thought you were the one person in the world with as much reason to hate the Cullens as he does. Sam feels sort of… betrayed that you would just let them back into your life like they never hurt you.”
“What is a valid reason for someone to love someone else? Since apparently I’m doing it wrong.” “I think the best place to start would be to look within your own species. That usually works.” “Well, that just sucks!” I snapped. “I guess I’m stuck with Mike Newton after all.”
Lol
“The Cullens had no idea,” I said in a whisper. “They didn’t think that werewolves still existed here. They didn’t know that coming here would change you.”
“You. Are. Not. Aging,” I growled through my teeth. Jacob tugged my arm gently, trying to make me sit. “None of us are. What’s wrong with you?” “Am I the only one who has to get old? I get older every stinking day!”
Lol
Sometimes… we don’t exactly know why… we find our mates that way.”
I knew it
“Yeah, Leah got the worst end of the stick,”
Yeah she did
She’s going to be a bridesmaid.”
Oh hell no
I decided I was just glad he didn’t claim there was some mystical, wolfy connection between the two of us.
Lol
“I already knew there was something wrong with your brain,” Jacob muttered.
Lol
“I’ll come back the next time he’s away,” I promised impulsively.
Yuck
“But I am a werewolf,” he said unwillingly. “And he is a vampire,” he added with obvious revulsion. “And I’m a Virgo!” I shouted, exasperated.
Lol
I was jumpy on the way out to my truck, but the street was empty. I spent the whole drive glancing anxiously in all my mirrors, but there was never any sign of the silver car.
“You weren’t supposed to know about it,” I reminded him. “I thought you’d be hunting longer.”
