My old mind hadnโt been capable of holding this much love. My old heart had not been strong enough to bear it. Maybe this was the part of me that Iโd brought forward to be intensified in my new life. Like Carlisleโs compassion and Esmeโs devotion. I would probably never be able to do anything interesting or special like Edward, Alice, and Jasper could do. Maybe I would just love Edward more than anyone in the history of the world had ever loved anyone else. I could live with that.

I curled over, pressing my face against the steering wheel and trying to breathe without lungs.
