"This was your idea?" Bella whispered, her voice rough as she strained to make it loud enough for me to
hear. Forgetting that I could hear just fine. I kind of liked how, a lot of the time, she seemed to forget that
I wasn't
completely human. I moved closer, so that she wouldn't have to work so hard.
"Don't blame me for this one. Your vampire was just picking snide comments out of my head."
She smiled a little. "I didn't expect to see you again."
"Yeah, me, either," I said.
It felt weird just standing here, but the vampires had shoved all the furniture out of the way for the
medical setup. I imagined that it didn't bother them—sitting or standing didn't make much difference when
you were stone. Wouldn't bother me much, either, except that I was so exhausted.
"Edward told me what you had to do. I'm sorry."
"S'okay. It was probably only a matter of time till I snapped over something Sam wanted me to do," I
lied.
"And Seth," she whispered.
"He's actually happy to help."
"I hate causing you trouble."
I laughed once—more a bark than a laugh.
She breathed a faint sigh. "I guess that's nothing new, is it?"
"No, not really."
"You don't have to stay and watch this," she said, barely mouthing the words.
I could leave. It was probably a good idea. But if I did, with the way she looked right now, I could be
missing the last fifteen minutes of her life.
"I don't really have anywhere else to go," I told her, trying to keep the emotion out of my voice. "The
wolf thing is a lot less appealing since Leah joined up."
"Leah?" she gasped.
"You didn't tell her?" I asked Edward.
