“Amazing," Edward muttered. "How can someone so tiny be so annoying?"Alice laughed. "It's a talent.”

“Dad, I wrote. I'm with Alice. Edward's in trouble. You can ground me when I get back. I know it's a bad time. So sorry. Love you so much. Bella.”

“how can a little thing be so annoying?”

“Alice: "I'll play you for it. Rock, paper, scissors."Edward: "Why don't you just tell me who wins?"Alice: "I do. Excellent.”

“Is the fire gone?""Yes," I sighed. "Thank you, Edward.""I love you," he answered."I know," I breathed, so tired.I heard my favorite sound in the world: Edward's quiet laugh, weak with relief.”

“I know - I'll play you for it," Alice suggested. "Rock, paper, scissors."Jasper chuckled and Edward sighed."Why don't you just tell me who wins?" Edward said wryly.Alice beamed. "I do. Excellent.”

“I would probably never be able to do anything interesting or special like Edward, Alice and Jasper could do. Maybe I would just love Edward more than anyone in the history of the world had ever loved anyone else.”
