seemed like ice; too; frozen the way he was。 
    “I’m sorry I made you anxious;” I muttered。 
    He sighed; and relaxed a little。 His arms wound around my waist。 
    “Anxious is a bit of an understatement;” he murmured。 “It was a very long day。” 
    “You weren’t supposed to know about it;” I reminded him。 “I thought you’d be hunting longer。” 
    I looked up at his face; at his defensive eyes; I hadn’t noticed in the stress of the moment; but they were 
too dark。 The rings under them were deep purple。 I frowned in disapproval。 
    “When Alice saw you disappear; I came back;” he explained。 
    “You shouldn’t have done that。 Now you’ll have to go away again。” My frown intensified。 
    “I can wait。” 
    “That’s ridiculous。 I mean; I know she couldn’t see me with Jacob; but you should have known —” 
    “But I didn’t;” he broke in。 “And you can’t expect me to let you —” 
    “Oh; yes; I can;” I interrupted him。 “That’s exactly what I expect —” 
    “This won’t happen again。” 
    “That’s right! Because you’re not going to overreact next time。” 
    “Because there isn’t going to be a next time。” 
    “I understand when you have to leave; even if I don’t like it —” 
    “That’s not the same。 I’m not risking my life。” 
    “Neither am I。” 
    “Werewolves constitute a risk。” 
    “I disagree。” 
    “I’m not negotiating this; Bella。” 
    “Neither am I。” 
    His hands were in fists again。 I could feel them against my back。 
    The words popped out thoughtlessly。 “Is this really just about my safety?” 
    “What do you mean?” he demanded。 
    “You aren’t 。 。 。” Angela’s theory seemed sillier now than before。 It was hard to finish the thought。 “I 
mean; you know better than to be jealous; right?” 
    He raised one eyebrow。 “Do I?” 
    “Be serious。” 
    “Easily — there’s nothing remotely humorous about this。” 
    I frowned suspiciously。 “Or 。 。 。 is this something else altogether? Some vampires…and…werewolves…are… 
always…enemies nonsense? Is this just a testosterone…fueled —” 
    His eyes blazed。 “This is only about you。 All I care is that you’re safe。” 
    The black fire in his eyes was impossible to doubt。 
    “Okay;” I sighed。 “I believe that。 But I want you to know something — when it comes to all this enemies 
nonsense; I’m out。 I am a neutral country。 I am Switzerland。 I refuse to be affected by territorial disputes 
between mythical creatures。 Jacob is family。 You are 。 。 。 well; not exactly the love of my life; because I expect 
to love you for much longer than that。 The love of my existence。 I don’t care who’s a werewolf and who’s a 
vampire。 If Angela turns out to be a witch; she can join the party; too。” 
    He stared at me silently through narrowed eyes。 
    “Switzerland;” I repeated again for emphasis。 
    He frowned at me; and then sighed。 “Bella 。 。 。 ;” he began; but he paused; and his nose wrinkled in 
disgust。 
    “What now?” 
    “Well 。 。 。 don’t be offended; but you smell like a dog;” he told me。 
    And then he smiled crookedly; so I knew the fight was over。 For now。 


Edward had to make up for the missed hunting trip; and so he was leaving Friday night with Jasper; Emmett; 

and Carlisle to hit some reserve in Northern California with a mountain lion problem。 
    We’d come to no agreement on the werewolf issue; but I didn’t feel guilty calling Jake — during my brief 
window of opportunity when Edward took the Volvo home before climbing back in through my window — to 
let him know I’d be coming over on Saturday again。 It wasn’t sneaking around。 Edward knew how I felt。 And 
if he broke my truck again; then I’d have Jacob pick me up。 Forks was neutral; just like Switzerland — just 
like me。 
    So when I got off work Thursday and it was Alice rather than Edward waiting for me in the Volvo; I was 
not suspicious at first。 The passenger door was open; and music I didn’t recognize was shaking the frame 
when the bass played。 
    “Hey; Alice;” I shouted over the wailing as I climbed in。 “Where’s your brother?” 
    She was singing along to the song; her voice an octave higher than the melody; weaving through it with a 
complicated harmony。 She nodded at me; ignoring my question as she concentrated on the music。 
    I shut my door and put my hands over my ears。 She grinned; and turned the volume down until it was just 
background。 Then she hit the locks and the gas in the same second。 
    “What’s going on?” I asked; starting to feel uneasy。 “Where is Edward?” 
    She shrugged。 “They left early。” 
    “Oh。” I tried to control the absurd disappointment。 If he left early; that meant he’d be back sooner; I 
reminded myself。 
    “All the boys went; and we’re having a slumber party!” she announced in a trilling; singsong voice。 
    “A slumber party?” I repeated; the suspicion finally settling in。 
    “Aren’t you excited?” she crowed。 
    I met her animated gaze for a long second。 
    “You’re kidnapping me; aren’t you?” 
    She laughed and nodded。 “Till Saturday。 Esme cleared it with Charlie; you’re staying with me two nights; 
and I will drive you to and from school tomorrow。” 
    I turned my face to the window; my teeth grinding together。 
    “Sorry;” Alice said; not sounding in the least bit penitent。 “He paid me off。” 
    “How?” I hissed through my teeth。 
    “The Porsche。 It’s exactly like the one I stole in Italy。” She sighed happily。 “I’m not supposed to drive it 
around Forks; but if you want; we could see how long it takes to get from here to L。A。 — I bet I could have 
you back by midnight。” 
    I took a deep breath。 “I think I’ll pass;” I sighed; repressing a shudder。 
    We wound; always too fast; down the long drive。 Alice pulled around to the garage; and I quickly looked 
over the cars。 Emmett’s big jeep was there; with a shiny canary yellow Porsche between it and Rosalie’s red 
convertible。 
    Alice hopped out gracefully and went to stroke her hand along the length of her bribe。 “Pretty; isn’t it?” 
    “Pretty over…the…top;” I grumbled; incredulous。 “He gave you that just for two days of holding me 
hostage?” 
    Alice made a face。 
    A second later; comprehension came and I gasped in horror。 “It’s for every time he’s gone; isn’t it?” 
    She nodded。 
    I slammed my door and stomped toward the house。 She danced along next to me; still unrepentant。 
    “Alice; don’t you think this is just a little bit controlling? Just a tiny bit psychotic; maybe?” 
    “Not really。” She sniffed。 “You don’t seem to grasp how dangerous a young werewolf can be。 Especially 
when I can’t see them。 Edward has no way to know if you’re safe。 You shouldn’t be so reckless。” 
    My voice turned acidic。 “Yes; because a vampire slumber party is the pinnacle of safety conscious 
behavior。” 
    Alice laughed。 “I’ll give you a pedicure and everything;” she promised。 
    It wasn’t so bad; except for the fact that I was being held against my will。 Esme brought Italian food — 
the good stuff; all the way fr
