Stephenie MeyerIn my dream it was very dark, and what dim light there was seemed to be radiating from Edward's skin. I couldn't see his face, just his back as he walked away from me, leaving me in the blackness. No matter how fast I ran, I couldn't catch up to him; no matter how loud I called, he never turned. Troubled, I woke in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep again for what seemed like a very long time. After that, he was in my dreams nearly every night, but always on the periphery, never within reach.

Stephenie MeyerDo you really have any idea how important you are to me? Any concept at all of how much I love you?" He pulled me tighter against his hard chest, tucking my head under his chin. I pressed my lips against his snow-cold neck. "I know how much I love you," I answered. You compare one small tree to the entire forest." I rolled my eyes, but he couldn't see. "Impossible.

Stephenie MeyerThe best part is coming." "What's the best part? You swallowing an entire cow whole?" "No. That's the finale.
Stephenie MeyerBefore you, Bella, my life was like a moonless night. Very dark, but there were stars, points of light and reason. ...And then you shot across my sky like a meteor. Suddenly everything was on fire; there was brilliancy, there was beauty. When you were gone, when the meteor had fallen over the horizon, everything went black. Nothing had changed, but my eyes were blinded by the light. I couldn’t see the stars anymore. And there was no more reason, for anything.
Stephenie MeyerYou know, Jacob, if it weren’t for the fact that we’re natural enemies and that you’re also trying to steal away the reason for my existence, I might actually like you.
Stephenie MeyerWhat am I going to do with you? Yesterday I kiss you, and you attack me! Today you pass out on me!
Stephenie MeyerIf you don’t send Edward out,” Emmett—still invisible in the night—hissed menacingly, “we’re coming in after him!” “Go,” I laughed. “Before they break my house.

Stephenie MeyerHe's like a drug for you, Bella. I see that you can't live without him now. It's too late. But I would have been healthier for you. Not a drug; I would have been the air, the sun.
Stephenie MeyerMomma, you're special," Renesmee told me without any surprise, like she was commenting on the color of my clothes.
Stephenie MeyerBecause there was just one thing that I had to believe to be able to live - I had to know that he existed. That was all. Everything else I could endure. So long as he existed.
Stephenie MeyerYou held out your hand, and I took it without stopping to make sense of what I was doing. For the first time in almost a century, I felt hope.

Stephenie MeyerThe bond forged between us was not one that could be broken by absence, distance, or time.
