explanation　about　tripping

again。

〃Maybe　you　should　just　stay　out　of　the　garage　altogether；　Bella；〃　he　suggested

that　night　during　dinner。

I　panicked；　worried　that　Charlie　was　about　to　lay　down　some　kind　of　edict　that

would　prohibit　La　Push；

and　consequently　my　motorcycle。　And　I　wasn't　giving　it　up—I'd　had　the　most

amazing　hallucination

today。　My　velvet…voiced　delusion　had　yelled　at　me　for　almost　five　minutes

before　I'd　hit　the　brake　too
