I acted as a lookout, for lack of a better word, for my family. To protect us. If anyone ever grew suspicious, I could give us early warning and an easy retreat. It happened occasionally – some human with an active imagination would see us in the characters of a book or a movie.

Jessica and her classmates had no idea how lucky they were that none of them particularly appealed to me.
Edward Cullen, Midnight Sun



I had things ordered the way I liked them now. Why should I let some aggravating and delicious nobody ruin that?
Edward Cullen, Midnight Sun



The monster in my head smiled in anticipation.
