Port Angeles

I’ve never had a boyfriend or anything close. I didn’t go out much.
Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 8, p.153

People ask you out here and you tell them no.
Jessica Stanley, Twilight, Chapter 8, p.153

Tyler told everyone he’s taking you to prom
Jessica Stanley, Twilight, Chapter 8, p.153

Do you think that if I ran him over with my truck he would stop feeling guilty about the accident? That he might give up on making amends and call it even?
Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 8, p.154

Stupid, unreliable vampire.
Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 8, p.156

I knew exactly where my pepper spray was — still in my duffle bag under the bed, never unpacked.
Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 8, p.158

I realized then that I wasn’t being followed. I was being herded.
Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 8, p.160

I wasn’t going out without taking someone with me. I tried to swallow so I could build up a decent scream.
Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 8, p.161

It was amazing how instantaneously the choking fear vanished, amazing how suddenly the feeling of security washed over me — even before I was off the street — as soon as I heard his voice.
Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 8, p.162

I stared at his face in profound relief, relief that went beyond my sudden deliverance.
Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 8, p.162

Distract me, please.
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 8, p.163

I’m going to run over Tyler Crowley tomorrow before school?
Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 8, p.163

He’s telling everyone that he’s taking me to prom — either he’s insane or he’s still trying to make up for almost killing me last… well, you remember it, and he thinks prom is somehow the correct way to do this. So I figure if I endanger his life, then we’re even, and he can’t keep trying to make amends.
Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 8, p.163

Sometimes I have a problem with my temper, Bella.
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 8, p.164

Go stop Jessica and Angela before I have to track them down, too. I don’t think I could restrain myself if I ran into your other friends again.
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 8, p.165

I wanted nothing more than to be alone with my perpetual savior. There were so many questions that I couldn’t bombard him with till we were by ourselves.
Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 8, p.166

Do I dazzle you?
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 8, p.168

He stared into my eyes, and I saw how light his eyes were, lighter than I’d ever seen them, golden butterscotch.
Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 8, p.170

I feel very safe with you.
Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 8, p.170

You’re always crabbier when your eyes are black — I expect it then.
Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 8, p.171

I hope you were more creative this time… or are you still stealing from comic books?
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 8, p.171

Only you could get into trouble in a town this small. You would have devastated their crime rate statistics for a decade, you know.
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 8, p.173

He seemed to be wavering, torn by some internal dilemma. His eyes locked with mine, and I guessed he was making the decision right then whether or not to simply tell me the truth.
Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 8, p.173

I was wrong — you’re much more observant than I gave you credit for.
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 8, p.173

You’re not a magnet for accidents — that’s not a broad enough classification. You are a magnet for trouble. If there is anything dangerous within a ten-mile radius, it will invariably find you.
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 8, p.174

I’ve never tried to keep a specific person alive before, and it’s much more troublesome than I would have believed. But that’s probably just because it’s you. Ordinary people seem to make it through the day without so many catastrophes.
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 8, p.174

Did you ever think that maybe my number was up the first time, with the van, and that you’ve been interfering with fate?
Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 8, p.174

Your number was up the first time I met you.
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 8, p.175

It’s harder than it should be — keeping track of you. Usually I can find someone very easily, once I’ve heard their mind before.
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 8, p.175

It was very… hard — you can’t imagine how hard — for me to simply take you away, and leave them… alive.
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 8, p.176

I probably should have been used to that by now — but I wasn’t. I had a feeling Edward wasn’t the kind of person anyone got used to.
Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 8, p.178
