Bella: How could I live with myself when itโs my fault? None of you should be risking yourselves for me โ Jasper: Bella, Bella, stop. Youโre worrying all the wrong things, Bella. 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?

They are nearly illegible, but if he finds them, he will understand: 'Not fast enough. Love you love Jamie. Don't go home' Not only do I break their hearts, I steal their refuge, too. I picture our little canyon abandoned, as it must be forever now. Or if not abandoned, a tomb.
