Everything that's supposed to be brown - tree trunks, rocks, dirt - is all covered up with squashy green stuff here





Both engines have exploded and we're falling in a death spiral toward the earth.

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 the history.










"Just give me the chance to decide whether or not I'm going to throw a fit over taking you to the hospital."
He made a face of mock horror. "Please not a fit!"
"If you don't let me see your hand, a fit is guaranteed." He inhaled deeply, and then let out a gusty sigh. "Fine."


(...) the smile I'd been waiting for stretched across his face like the sun breaking free of the clouds. His teeth gleamed bright against his russet skin.
"I can't believe it!"
He ran to the truck and half-yanked me through the open door, and then we were both jumping up and down like kids.





I tried to maintain what dignity I could as I got into his car. I wasn't very successful - I looked like a half-drowned cat and my boots squeaked.
"This is completely unnecessary," I said stiffly.
He didn't answer. He fiddled with the controls, turning the heater up and the music down (...)
I recognized the music playing and my curiosity got the better of my intentions.
"Clair de Lune?" I asked, surprised.
"You know Debussy?" He sounded surprised too.









"I love you too, Bella. Try to be more careful when you walk, honey, I don't want to lose you."
Edward's eyes stayed closed, but a wide grin flashed across his face. 



He shrugged. "I was hoping you were just letting him down easy." 
Okay, it was completely his fault. 
"Sorry Tyler", I said, working to hide my irritation. "I really am going out of town." 
"That's cool. We still have prom." 
(...) I could feel the shock on my face (...)
In his rearview mirror, Edward's eyes were on me. 
He was unquestionably shaking with laughter, as if he'd heard every word Tyler had said. 




"This is nice," I commented when he pulled the warm sodas from the grocery bag. 
"I've missed this place." 
He smiled, looking around at the plastic sheds bolted together over our heads. 
"Yeah, I can understand that. All the splendor of the Taj Mahal, 
without the inconvenience and expense of travelling to India."
