“Could a dead, frozen heart beat again? It felt like mine was about to.”

“Edward,' she mumbled softly.She was dreaming of me.Could a dead, frozen heart beat again? It felt like mine was about to.'Stay,' she sighed. 'Don't go. Please... don't go”

“I felt like I was staring out across an ocean that I was going to have to swim from shore to shore before I could rest again.”

“My heart hasn't beat in almost ninety years but this was different it was like my heart was gone like I was hallow like I'd left everything here with you.”

“From upstair there was a new sound the only thing that could stop me in this endless instant, a frantic pounding, a racing beat, a changing heart.”

“I'm gonna fight for you, until your heart stops beating.”

“I would like to ask one favor though, if that's not too much," he said.I wonder what he saw on my face, because something flickered across his own face in response. But, before I could identify it, he'd composed his features into the same serene mask."Anything," I vowed, my voice faintly stronger.As I watched, his frozen eyes melted. The gold became liquid again, molten, burning down into mine with an intensity that was overwhelming."Don't do anything reckless or stupid," he ordered, no longer detached. "Do you understand what I'm saying?"I nodded helplessly.His eyes cooled, the distance returned.”
