     Edward sighed。 The hand over my mouth moved under my chin; and he pulled my face up until I had to 
look at him。 
     “What now?” 
     “Nothing;” I mumbled。 
     He scrutinized my face for long moment while I tried unsuccessfully to twist away from his gaze。 His brow 
furrowed; and his expression became horrified。 
     “Did I hurt your feelings?” he asked; shocked。 
     “No;” I lied。 
     So quickly that I wasn’t even sure how it happened; I was in his arms; my face cradled between his 
shoulder and his hand; while his thumb stroked reassuringly against my cheek。 
     “You know why I have to say no;” he murmured。 “You know that I want you; too。” 
     “Do you?” I whispered; my voice full of doubt。 

    “Of course I do; you silly; beautiful; oversensitive girl。” He laughed once; and then his voice was bleak。 
“Doesn’t everyone? I feel like there’s a line behind me; jockeying for position; waiting for me to make a big 
enough mistake。 。 。 。 You’re too desirable for your own good。” 
    “Who’s being silly now?” I doubted if awkward; self…conscious; and inept added up to desirable in 
anyone’s book。 
    “Do I have to send a petition around to get you to believe? Shall I tell you whose names would be on the 
top of the list? You know a few of them; but some might surprise you。” 
    I shook my head against his chest; grimacing。 “You’re just trying to distract me。 Let’s get back to the 
subject。” 
    He sighed。 
    “Tell me if I have anything wrong。” I tried to sound detached。 “Your demands are marriage” — I couldn’t 
say the word without making a face — “paying my tuition; more time; and you wouldn’t mind if myvehicle 
went a little faster。” I raised my eyebrows。 “Did I get everything? That’s a hefty list。” 
    “Only the first is a demand。” He seemed to be having a hard time keeping a straight face。 “The others are 
merely requests。” 
    “And my lone; solitary little demand is —” 
    “Demand?” he interrupted; suddenly serious again。 
    “Yes; demand。” 
    His eyes narrowed。 
    “Getting married is a stretch for me。 I’m not giving in unless I get something in return。” 
    He leaned down to whisper in my ear。 “No;” he murmured silkily。 “It’s not possible now。 Later; when 
you’re less breakable。 Be patient; Bella。” 
    I tried to keep my voice firm and reasonable。 “But that’s the problem。 It won’t be the same when I’m less 
breakable。 I won’t be the same! I don’t know who I’ll be then。” 
    “You’ll still be Bella;” he promised。 
    I frowned。 “If I’m so far gone that I’d want to kill Charlie — that I’d drink Jacob’s blood or Angela’s if I 
got the chance — how can that be true?” 
    “It will pass。 And I doubt you’ll want to drink the dog’s blood。” He pretended to shudder at the thought。 
“Even as a newborn; you’ll have better taste than that。” 
    I ignored his attempt to sidetrack me。 “But that will always be what I want most; won’t it?” I challenged。 
“Blood; blood; and more blood!” 
    “The fact that you are still alive is proof that that is not true;” he pointed out。 
    “Over eighty years later;” I reminded him。 “What I meant was physically; though。 Intellectually; I know I’ll 
be able to be myself 。 。 。 after a while。 But just purely physically — I will always be thirsty; more than anything 
else。” 
    He didn’t answer。 
    “So I will be different;” I concluded unopposed。 “Because right now; physically; there’s nothing I want 
more than you。 More than food or water or oxygen。 Intellectually; I have my priorities in a slightly more 
sensible order。 But physically 。 。 。” 
    I twisted my head to kiss the palm of his hand。 
    He took a deep breath。 I was surprised that it sounded a little unsteady。 
    “Bella; I could kill you;” he whispered。 
    “I don’t think you could。” 
    Edward’s eyes tightened。 He lifted his hand from my face and reached quickly behind himself for 
something I couldn’t see。 There was a muffled snapping sound; and the bed quivered beneath us。 
    Something dark was in his hand; he held it up for my curious examination。 It was a metal flower; one of the 
roses that adorned the wrought iron posts and canopy of his bed frame。 His hand closed for a brief second; 
his fingers contracting gently; and then it opened again。 
    Without a word; he offered me the crushed; uneven lump of black metal。 It was a cast of the inside of his 
hand; like a piece of play dough squeezed in a child’s fist。 A half…second passed; and the shape crumbled into 
black sand in his palm。 
    I glared。 “That’s not what I meant。 I already know how strong you are。 You didn’t have to break the 

furniture。” 
    “What did you mean then?” he asked in a dark voice; tossing the handful of iron sand to the corner of the 
room; it hit the wall with a sound like rain。 
    His eyes were intent on my face as I struggled to explain。 
    “Obviously not that you aren’t physically able hurt me; if you wanted to 。 。 。 More that; you don’t want to 
hurt me 。 。 。 so much so that I don’t think that you ever could。” 
    He started shaking his head before I was done。 
    “It might not work like that; Bella。” 
    “Might;” I scoffed。 “You have no more idea what you’re talking about than I do。” 
    “Exactly。 Do you imagine I would ever take that kind of risk with you?” 
    I stared into his eyes for a long minute。 There was no sign of compromise; no hint of indecision in them。 
    “Please;” I finally whispered; hopeless。 “It’s all I want。 Please。” I closed my eyes in defeat; waiting for the 
quick and final no。 
    But he didn’t answer immediately。 I hesitated in disbelief; stunned to hear that his breathing was uneven 
again。 
    I opened my eyes; and his face was torn。 
    “Please?” I whispered again; my heartbeat picking up speed。 My words tumbled out as I rushed to take 
advantage of the sudden uncertainty in his eyes。 “You don’t have to make me any guarantees。 If it doesn’t 
work out right; well; then that’s that。 Just let us try 。 。 。 only try。 And I’ll give you what you want;” I promised 
rashly。 “I’ll marry you。 I’ll let you pay for Dartmouth; and I won’t complain about the bribe to get me in。 You 
can even buy me a fast car if that makes you happy! Just 。 。 。 please。” 
    His icy arms tightened around me; and his lips were at my ear; his cool breath made me shiver。 “Thisis 
unbearable。 So many things I’ve wanted to give you — and this is what you decide to demand。 Do you have 
any idea how painful it is; trying to refuse you when you plead with me this way?” 
    “Then don’t refuse;” I suggested breathlessly。 
    He didn’t respond。 
    “Please;” I tried again。 
    “Bella 。 。 。” He shook his head slowly; but it didn’t feel like a denial as his face; his lips; moved back and 
forth across my throat。 It felt more like surrender。 My heart; racing already; spluttered frantically。 
    Again; I took what advantage I could。 When his face turned toward mine with the slow movement of his 
indecision; I twisted quickly in his arms till my lips reach
