I’ll let you pay me back, if that makes you happy. If you want, I can charge you interest.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 1, p.22
There’s no hurry. I won’t let anyone hurt you. You can take all the time you need.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 1, p.25
I’ll never forgive myself for leaving you. Not if I live a hundred thousand years.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 1, p.33
I don’t know how to phrase this properly. It’s going to sound cruel, I suppose. But I’ve come too close to losing you in the past. I know what it feels like to think I have. I am not going to tolerate anything dangerous.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 1, p.33
Please make a conscious effort to keep yourself safe. I’ll do everything I can, but I would appreciate a little help.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 1, p.33
Do you really have any idea how important you are to me? Any concept at all of how much I love you?
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 1, p.34
The outside world holds no interest for me without you.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 2, p.49
I’d wait till we were close enough to the ground, get a good grip on you, kick out the wall, and jump. Then I’d run you back to the scene of the accident, and we’d stumble around like the two luckiest survivors in history.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 3, p.88
I’ll be back so soon you won’t have time to miss me. Look after my heart — I’ve left it with you.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 4, p.95
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.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 8, p.186
I go a little berserk when I try to leave you. I don’t think I’ll go so far again. It’s not worth it.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 8, p.189
I prefer brunettes.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 8, p.194
You’re quite adorable when you’re jealous. It’s surprisingly enjoyable.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 8, p.194
You are the only one who has ever touched my heart. It will always be yours.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 8, p.195
Are you trying to distract me? It’s working.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 10, p.224
Do you ever think that your life might be easier if you weren’t in love with me?
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 10, p.230
I was rather under the impression that you’d promised to ask my permission to go to some kind of werewolf soirée tonight.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 10, p.230
There are things between my hands right now that I can’t live without. You could take care of them.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 10, p.234
You look… sexy.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 10, p.235
Besides… the more time I spend with you, the more human emotions seem comprehensible to me. I’m discovering that I can sympathize with Heathcliff in ways I didn’t think possible before.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 11, p.265
How can someone so tiny by so annoying?
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 12, p.268
Would you please tell me what you are thinking? Before I go mad?
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 12, p.270
You aren’t going through with this because a sword is hanging over your head. We will take care of the problems, and I will take care of you. When we’re through it, and there is nothing forcing your hand, then you can decide to join me, if you still want to. But not because you’re afraid. You won’t be forced into this.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 12, p.271
It’s the thought that counts. I ought to know.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 12, p.272
If I answer your question, will you then explain your question?
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 12, p.273
If there were any way for me to become human for you — no matter what the price was, I would pay it.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 12, p.273
And the sound of your heart. It’s the most significant sound in my world.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 12, p.274
You’ll always be my Bella, you’ll just be a little more durable.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 12, p.274
If I had found you, there isn’t a doubt in my mind how I would have proceeded. I was that boy, who would have — as soon as I discovered that you were what I was looking for — gotten down on one knee and endeavored to secure your hand. I would have wanted you for eternity, even when the word didn’t have quite the same connotations.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 12, p.277
I know you think that I have some kind of perfect, unyielding self-control, but that’s not actually the case.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 14, p.315
Do me a favor and challenge him to an arm-wrestling match. It would be a good experience for him.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 14, p.317
But if you ever bring her back damaged again — and I don’t care whose fault it is; I don’t care if she merely trips, or if a meteor falls out of the sky and hits her in the head — if you return her to me in less than the perfect condition that I left her in, you will be running with three legs. Do you understand that, mongrel?
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 15, p.340
I’ll be fighting for her, too. You should know that. I’m not taking anything for granted, and I’ll be fighting twice as hard as you will.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 15, p.341
She is mine. I didn’t say I would fight fair.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 15, p.341
The way you regard me is ludicrous.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 19, p.413
Never be afraid to tell me how you feel, Bella. If this is what you need… You are my first priority.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 19, p.422
You gave me two alternatives that you could live with, and I chose the one that I could live with. That’s how compromise is supposed to work.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 19, p.422
I’m the only one who has permission to hold you hostage, remember?
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 19, p.427
For this one night, could we try to forget everything besides just you and me? It seems like I can never get enough time like that. I need to be with you. Just you.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 20, p.435
But I thought it was a good representation. It’s hard and cold. And it throws rainbows in the sunlight.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 20, p.439
My heart is just as silent. And it, too, is yours.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 20, p.439
Listen to your heart fly. It’s fluttering like a hummingbird’s wings. Are you all right?
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 20, p.440
I’ve already made the largest concession by far and away — I’ve agreed to take your life away against my better judgment. And that ought to entitle me to a few compromises on your part.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 20, p.440
I didn’t realize there was anything else you wanted besides being transformed into a monster yourself. I’m extremely curious.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 20, p.441
Tell me what you want, and you can have it.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 20, p.442
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.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 20, p.445
Do you have any idea how painful it is, trying to refuse you when you plead with me this way?
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 20, p.448
Bella. Would you please stop trying to take your clothes off?
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 20, p.450
Do you get the feeling that everything is backward? Traditionally, shouldn’t you be arguing my side, and I yours?
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 20, p.451
You know that I’ve stolen, I’ve lied, I’ve coveted… my virtue is all I have left.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 20, p.454
Yes, but you’re such a bad liar that it doesn’t really count. Nobody believes you.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 20, p.454
I had no right to want you — but I reached out and took you anyway. And now look what’s become of you! Trying to seduce a vampire.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 20, p.454
There is only one thing I want to speed up, and the rest can wait forever… but for that, it’s true, your impatient human hormones are my most powerful ally at this point.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 20, p.455
We’ll go to Vegas — you can wear old jeans and we’ll go to the chapel with the drive-through window. I just want it to be official — that you belong to me and no one else.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 20, p.456
You are the most dangerous creature I’ve ever met.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 20, p.457
I supposed it’s a little outdated. Old-fashioned, just like me.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 20, p.458
Isabella Swan? I promise to love you forever — every single day of forever. Will you marry me?
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 20, p.460
I lived through an entire twenty-four hours thinking that you were dead, Bella. That changed the way I look at a lot of things.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 21, p.471
I don’t see you making yourself useful. Why don’t you go fetch a space heater or something?
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 22, p.489
You don’t have the faintest idea how much I wish I could do what you’re doing for her, mongrel.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 22, p.492
Do you think you could attempt to control your thoughts?
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 22, p.494
As long as she wants me, I’m here.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 22, p.502
You see, Jacob, you might leave her someday. Like Sam and Emily, you wouldn’t have a choice. I would always be waiting in the wings, hoping for that to happen.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 22, p.502
Would you like me to help you sleep, Jacob?
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 22, p.504
But, if I had been able to take your place last night, it would not have made the top ten of the best nights of my life. Dream about that.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 23, p.509
All of my best nights have happened since I met you.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 23, p.511
You love me more than I deserve.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 23, p.513
A hundred years from now, when you’ve gained enough perspective to really appreciate the answer, I will explain it to you.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 23, p.513
Truce over.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 23, p.514
I never promised to fight fair. And he deserves to know.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 23, p.514
You don’t have to be afraid, Bella. You’re safe. I won’t hurt you.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 25, p.556
It’s going to be all right, Bella. I know you’re frightened now, but it’s over. No one is going to hurt you. I won’t touch you. I won’t hurt you.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 25, p.557
You know that you nearly gave me a heart attack? Not the easiest thing to do, that.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 25, p.559
Bella, I see what you’re doing. You’re trying to make everyone else happy. And I don’t care about anyone else’s feelings. I only need you to be happy. Don’t worry about breaking the news to Alice. I’ll take care of it. I promise she won’t make you feel guilty.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 27, p.617
We’re doing this your way. Because my way doesn’t work. I call you stubborn, but look at what I’ve done. I’ve clung with such idiotic obstinacy to my idea of what’s best for you, though it’s only hurt you. Hurt you so deeply, time and time again. I don’t trust myself anymore. You can have happiness your way. My way is always wrong.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 27, p.617
You don’t fight fair.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 27, p.620
-Alice-
Edward and I were playing chess, hilariously fun, when I saw an image that did not involve chess pieces. I stiffened; then relaxed. So they liked Isle Renesmee. Good. It WAS my idea, after all.
And suddenly, I saw something that did not make me smile. I sighed and flicked my king over. It wasn't worth it.
* * *
Edward was the only one who would play chess with me anymore, mainly because it was fair.
I was a little depressed that there wasn't any wedding to be planned, and I didn't have any new project planned. Then, it hit me. RENESMEE'S CLOSET! Well, I'd already stocked her new house's (Esme had given them their own house, she'd designed it and everything) mega-sized walk in closet and helped furnish the house, but I could always remodel her closet to look like a boutique!
I smiled in anticipation. I had to go call Esme!
