“You are in trouble,' I said slowly, emphasizing each word. 'Enormous trouble. Angry grizzly bears are going to look tame next to what is waiting for you at home.”

“Angry grizzly bears are going to look tame next to what is waiting for you at home." I snapped the phone shut and placed it in her waiting hand. "I'm done.”

“I was all braced for the wrath that was going to put grizzlies to shame, and this is what I get? I should infuriate you more often.”

“Just you wait till I’m a vampire! I’m not going to be sitting on the sidelines next time.”

“I had enough trouble not falling down when the ground was dry; it might be safer for me to go back to bed now.”

“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.”

“Repeat one word of what I just said and I'll cheerfully beat you to death, Mike.”
