About three things I was absolutely positive. First, Edward was a vampire. Second, there was a part of him-and I didnβt know how potent that part might be-that thirsted for my blood. And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.

Even more, I had never meant to love him. One thing I truly knew - knew it in the pit of my stomach, in the center of my bones, knew it from the crown of my head to the soles of my feet, knew it deep in my empty chest - was how love gave someone the power to break you

You could run from someone you feared, you could try to fight someone you hated. All my reactions were geared toward those kinds of killers β the monsters, the enemies. When you loved the one who was killing you, it left you no options. How could you run, how could you fight, when doing so would hurt that beloved one? If your life was all you had to give your beloved, how could you not give it? If it was someone you truly loved?

Alice! You know I love you like a sister!"
"Words." she growled.

Isn't it supposed to be like this?" He smiled. "The glory of first love, and all that. It's incredible, isn't it, the difference between reading about something, seeing it in the pictures, and experiencing it?"
"Very different," I agreed. "More forceful than I'd imagined.

What is a valid reason for someone to love someone else? Since apparently Iβm doing it wrong.

There was no reason for Bella Swan to cross paths with me. She would be avoided like the plague she was.

This is making me sick, Jacob. Can you imagine what this feels like to me? I donβt even like Bella Swan. And youβve got me grieving over this leech-lover like Iβm in love with her, too. Can you see where that might be a little confusing? I dreamed about kissing her last night! What the hell am I supposed to do with that?

I stopped in the porch and took hold of his face in my hands. I looked fiercely into his eyes. "I love you," I said in a low, intense voice. "I will always love you, no matter what happens now.

I'll be the first to admit that I have no experience with relationships. But it just seems logicalβ¦a man and woman have to be somewhat equalβ¦as in, one of them can't always be swooping in and saving the other one. They have to save each other equally.

I love him. Not because heβs beautiful or because heβs rich! Iβd much rather he werenβt either one. It would even out the gap between us just a little bit β because heβd still be the most loving and unselfish and brilliant and decent person Iβve ever met. Of course I love him. How hard is that to understand?

It's the color of your eyes today,' she admitted. 'I suppose if you asked me in two weeks, I'd say onyx.'
Just as my favorite color was now a deep chocolate brown.

Love didn't work that way, I decided. Once you cared about a person, it was impossible to be logical about them anymore.

What strange alchemy was this, that the touch of lips should be so much more than the touch of fingers? It made no logical sense that simple contact between this specific area of skin should be so much more powerful than anything Iβd yet experienced. It felt as if a new sun was bursting into being where our mouths met, and my whole body was filled to a shatter point with the brilliant light of it.

I was still unused to this joy, and it didnβt really feel like something a person could get used to. I would embrace it for as long as that was possible, and know that no matter what happened in the future, just having this one paradisiacal day was worth any pain that might follow.

Well, about that... See, I found that... when I was doing something dangerous or stupid... I could remember you more clearly," I confessed, feeling completely mental. "I could remember how your voice sounded when you were angry. I could hear it, like you were standing right there next to me. Mostly I tried not to think about you, but this didn't hurt so much- it was like you were protecting me again. Like you didn't want me to be hurt.
"And, well, I wonder if the reason I could hear you so clearly was, underneath it all, I always knew you never stopped loving me."
Again, as I spoke, the words brought with them a sense of conviction. Of righteousness. Some deep place inside me recognized the truth.
His word came out half stangled. "You... were... risking your life... to hear-
