〃There's　still　good　reason　to　keep　a　safe　distance。〃

I　glared　blindly　out　the　windshield；　seeing　only　Jacob's　face；　set　in　the

bitter　mask　I　hated。

〃Bella；　we　are　what　we　are；〃　Edward　said　quietly。　〃I　can　control　myself；　but　I

doubt　he　can。　He's　very

young。　It　would　most　likely　turn　into　a　fight；　and　I　don't　know　if　I　could

stop　it　before　I　k—〃　he　broke　off；

and　then　quickly　continued。　〃Before　I　hurt　him。　You　would　be　unhappy。　I　don't

want　that　to　happen。〃

I　stared　at　him　with　my　mouth　hanging　open；　but　he　continued　to　look　straight

ahead。　We　were　paused　at

the　corner　stop　sign。

Abruptly；　I　remembered　what　had　happened　to　Paris　when　Romeo　came　back。　The

stage　directions

But　that　was　ridiculous。　Impossible。

〃Well；〃　I　said；　and　took　a　deep　breath；　shaking　my　head　to　dispel　the　words　in

my　head。　〃Nothing　like
