ked　at　me　with　approval；　as　if　he　meant　it　as　a　pliment。

〃Threaten　him；〃　the　beautiful　delusion　ordered；　his　voice　distorted　with

dread。

〃He'll　know　it　was　you；〃　I　whispered　obediently。　〃You　won't　get　away　with

this。〃

〃And　why　not？〃　Laurent's　smile　widened。　He　gazed　around　the　small　opening　in

the　trees。　〃The　scent　will

wash　away　with　the　next　rain。　No　one　will　find　your　body—you'll　simply　go

missing；　like　so　many；　many

other　humans。　There's　no　reason　for　Edward　to　think　of　me；　if　he　cares　enough

to　investigate。　This　is

nothing　personal；　let　me　assure　you；　Bella。　Just　thirst。〃

his　head　with　a　slow　movement；　almost　as　if　in　disgust。　〃I　swear　you'd　be

thanking　me　for　this。〃

I　stared　at　him　in　horror。

He　sniffed　at　the　breeze　that　blew　threads　of　my　hair　in　his　direction。

〃Mouthwatering；〃　he　repeated；

inhaling　deeply。

I　tensed　for　the　spring；　my　eyes　squinting　as　I　cringed　away；　and　the　sound　of

Edward's　furious　roar

echoed　distantly　in　the　back　of　my　head。　His　name　burst　through　all　the　walls

I'd　built　to　contain　it。
