A Hundred Yards Away, Mike Newton Was Lowering Bella's Limp Body To The Sidewalk. She Slumped Unresponsively Against The Wet Concrete, Her Skin Chalky As A Corpse. I Almost Took The Door Off The Car.

I Wondered How Long It Could Last. Maybe Someday, Years From Now.if The Pain Would Decrease To The Point Where I Could Bear It.i Would Be Able To Look Back On Those Few Short Months That Would Always Be The Best Of My Life.

It's Not A Good Feeling--knowing That You Profoundly Deserve The Title Of Monster. It's Better To Be Kind Than To Feel Guilty.

It's An Extraordinary Thing To Meet Someone Who You Can Bare Your Soul To And Accept You For What You Are. I've Been Waiting, For What Seems Like A Very Long Time, To Get Beyond What I Am. With Bella I Feel Like I Can Finally Begin. So I'd Like To Propose A Toast To My Beautiful Bride. No Measure Of Time With You Will Be Long Enough. But Let's Start With Forever.
