Trust me on this โ none of us are in jeopardyโฆ Our family is strong. Our only fear is losing you. Bella: But why should you โ Alice: Itโs been almost a century that Edwardโs been alone. Now heโs found you. You canโt see the changes that we see, we who have been with him for so long. Do you think any of us want to look into his eyes for the next hundred years if he loses you?
