Impatience

You have nothing to worry about. You are completely safe here.
Jasper Hale, Twilight, Chapter 20, p.410

What if something goes wrong, and they get separated? If something happens to any of them, Carlisle, Emmett… Edward… If that wild female hurts Esme… How could I live with myself when it’s my fault? None of you should be risking yourselves for me.
Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 20, p.410

You’re worrying about all the wrong things, Bella. Trust me on this — none of us are in jeopardy. You are under too much strain as it is; don’t add to it with wholly unnecessary worries. Listen to me! Our family is strong. Our only fear is losing you.
Jasper Hale, Twilight, Chapter 20, p.410

It’s been almost a century that Edward’s been alone. Now he’s found you. You can’t see the changes that we see, we who have been with him for so long. Do you think any of us want to look into his eyes for the next hundred years if he loses you?
Alice Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 20, p.410

My guilt slowly subsided as I looked into her dark eyes. But, even as the calm spread over me, I knew I couldn’t trust my feelings with Jasper there.
Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 20, p.411

I hoped that by myself in the dark, I could give in to the terrible fears that hovered on the edge of my consciousness, unable to break through under Jasper’s careful supervision.
Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 20, p.411

Bella, how many times do we have to tell you that there’s no danger to us?
Alice Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 20, p.412

I will always tell you the truth.
Alice Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 20, p.412

Tell me then… how do you become a vampire?
Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 20, p.413

As predators, we have a glut of weapons in our physical arsenal — much, much more than really necessary. The strength, the speed, the acute senses, not to mention those of us like Edward, Jasper, and I, who have extra senses as well. And then, like a carnivorous flower, we are physically attractive to our prey.
Alice Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 20, p.413

It’s difficult on both sides — the blood-lust on the one hand, the awful pain on the other.
Alice Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 20, p.414

For everyone else, the pain of transformation is the sharpest memory they have of their human life. I remember nothing of being human.
Alice Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 20, p.414

I told you not to worry about anything but yourself.
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 20, p.417

It’s like you’ve taken half my self away with you.
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 20, p.418

I will make you safe first.
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 20, p.418

Could you believe that, despite everything I’ve put you through, I love you, too?
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 20, p.418

Immortality must grant endless patience.
Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 20, p.421
