parking　lot　behind　Forks　High　School　and　spotted　Edward　leaning　motionlessly

against　his　polished　silver

Volvo；　like　a　marble　tribute　to　some　forgotten　pagan　god　of　beauty。　The　dream

had　not　done　him　justice。

And　he　was　waiting　there　for　me；　just　the　same　as　every　other　day。

Despair　momentarily　vanished；　wonder　took　its　place。　Even　after　half　a　year

with　him；　I　still　couldn't

believe　that　I　deserved　this　degree　of　good　fortune。

His　sister　Alice　was　standing　by　his　side；　waiting　for　me；　too。

Of　course　Edward　and　Alice　weren't　really　related　（in　Forks　the　story　was　that

all　the　Cullen　siblings

were　adopted　by　Dr。　Carlisle　Culler　and　his　wife；　Esme；　both　plainly　too　young

but　their　skin　was　precisely　the　same　pale　shade；　their　eyes　had　the　same

strange　golden　tint；　with　the

startlingly　beautiful。　To

someone　in　the　know—someone　like　me—these　similarities　marked　them　for　what

they　were。

The　sight　of　Alice　waiting　there—her　tawny　eyes　brilliant　with　excitement；

and　a　small　silver…wrapped

square　in　her　hands—made　me　frown。　I'd　told　Alice　I　didn't　want　anything；

anything；　not　gifts　or　even

attention；　for　my　birthday。　Obviously；　my　wishes　were　being　ignored。

I　slammed　the　door　of　my　'53　Chevy　truck—a　shower　of　rust　specks　fluttered

down　to　the　wet

blacktop—and　walked　slowly　toward　where　they　waited。　Alice　skipped　forward　to

meet　me；　her　pixie

face　glowing　under　her　spiky　black　hair。

〃Happy　birthday；　Bella！〃

〃Shh！〃　I　hissed；　glancing　around　the　lot　to　make　sure　no　on
