/%. I'm the worlds !est predator, aren't I- +verything a!out me invites you
in9my voice, my face, even my smell. 7s if i need any of thatB "+dward$
/(. I sat without moving, more frightened of him than I had ever !een. I'd
never seen him so completely freed of that carefully cultivated f facade.
He'd never !een less human8 or more !eautiful. "#ella$
/*. That is something to !e afraid of, indeed. Wanting to !e with me. That's

#ecause there was no way that 7lice could have dropped the vase !y

%16. +dward and I had not had a last grand scene of farewell, nor did I plan
one. To spea. the word was to ma.e it final. It would !e the same as typing
the words The +nd on the last page of a manuscript. So we did not say our
good!yes, and we stayed very close to each other, always touching.
Whatever end found us, it would not find us separated. "#ella$
