The monster in my head smiled in anticipation.

Edward Cullen, Midnight Sun

Before you, Bella, my life was like a moonless night. Very dark, but there were stars, points of light and reason. ….And then you shot across my sky like a meteor. Suddenly everything was on fire; there was brilliancy, there was beauty. When you were gone, when the meteor had fallen over the horizon, everything went black. Nothing had changed, but my eyes were blinded by the light. I couldn’t see the stars anymore. And there was no more reason for anything.

“If I could dream at all, it would be about you. And I’m not ashamed of it.”

And So the lion fell in love with the lamb.
What a stupid lamb.
What a sick masochistic lion.
-Edward & Bella

But outside the door to our Spanish class, leaning against the wall — looking more like a Greek god than anyone had a right to — Edward was waiting for me.

“Fall down again, Bella?”
“No, Emmett. I punched a werewolf in the face.”

About three things I was absolutely positive. First, Edward was a vampire. Second, there was a part of him-and I didn’t know how potent that part might be-that thirsted for my blood. And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him. –Bella Swan

But if you ever bring her back damaged again - and I don’t care whose fault it is; I don’t care if she merly trips, or if a meteor falls out of the sky and hits her in the head - if you return her to me in less that perfect condition that I left her in, you will be running with three legs. Do you understand that mongrel?  -Edward

“Ugh.” I winced.
“What is it?” he asked anxiously…
“Needles.” I explained, looking away from the one in my hand…
“Afraid of a needle.” he muttered to himself under his breath, shaking
his head. “Oh, a sadistic vampire, intent on torturing her to death,
sure, no problem, she runs off to meet him. An IV, on the other hand…” -Bella & Edward

You already know how I feel, of course. I’m here… which, roughly translated, means I would rather die than stay away from you.
