You dont know how hard it was for me to take you and leave them alive.

It felt almost rude to ignore toe pretty white bed, but we just weren’t going to make it that far.

Death is Peaceful, Life is Harder.

Life and love go on.

Her name is Wanda, not it. You will not touch her. Any mark you leave on her, I will double on your worthless hide.

She was thinking what I think she was thinking, wasn’t she?

Is my mom all right? She’s perfectly fine. don’t worry, Bella, I have no quarrel with her. Unless you didn’t come alone, of course. Light, amused. I’m alone. I’d never been more alone in my entire life.
