Twilight Sage: Eclipse

In ECLIPSE, Bella once again finds herself surrounded by danger as Seattle is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings and a malicious vampire continues her quest for revenge. In the midst of it all, she is forced to choose between her love for Edward and her friendship with Jacob -- knowing that her decision has the potential to ignite the ageless struggle between vampire and werewolf. With her graduation quickly approaching, Bella is confronted with the most important decision of her life. The word boyfriend had me chewing on the inside of my cheek with a familiar tension while I stirred. It wasn’t the right word, not at all. I needed something more expressive of eternal commitment… But words like destiny and fate sounded hokey when you used them in casual conversation. Bella

"The outside world holds no interest for me without you." Edward "It’s not like I’m headed off to Vegas to be a showgirl or anything. I’m going to see Mom." Bella

Renée is so much more… perceptive than Charlie in some ways. It was making me jumpy. Bella

"There’s something… strange about the way you two are together. The way he watches you — it’s so… protective. Like he’s about to throw himself in front of a bullet to save you or something. The way you move — you orient yourself around him without even thinking about it. When he moves, even a little bit, you adjust your position at the same time. Like magnets… or gravity. You’re like a… satellite, or something." Renee
"I believe that. But I want you to know something — when it comes to all this enemies nonsense, I’m out. I am a neutral country. I am Switzerland. I refuse to be affected by territorial disputes between mythical creatures. Jacob is family. You are… well, not exactly the love of my life, because I expect to love you for much longer than that. The love of my existence. I don’t care who’s a werewolf and who’s a vampire. If Angela turns out to be a witch, she can join the party, too." Bella "I’m the only one who has permission to hold you hostage, remember?" Edward
I leaned into him, ducking my head under his arm and cuddling into his side. It probably felt similar to snuggling with Michelangelo’s David, except that this perfect marble creature wrapped his arms around me to pull me closer. Bella
"Listen to your heart fly. It’s fluttering like a hummingbird’s wings. Are you all right? I didn’t realize there was anything else you wanted besides being transformed into a monster yourself. I’m extremely curious." Edward
I didn’t have the faintest idea how to be seductive. I would just have to settle for flushed and self-conscious. Bella
"I had no right to want you — but I reached out and took you anyway. And now look what’s become of you! Trying to seduce a vampire." Edward

"We’ll go to Vegas — you can wear old jeans and we’ll go to the chapel with the drive-through window. I just want it to be official — that you belong to me and no one else." Edward
"Show me the damn ring, Edward." Bella
"You are the most dangerous creature I’ve ever met. I supposed it’s a little outdated. Old-fashioned, just like me. Isabella Swan? I promise to love you forever —every single day of forever. Will you marry me?" Edward

"I’ve chosen my life — now I want to start living it." Bella
"You don’t fight fair." Edward
"It’s a good thing you’re bulletproof. I’m going to need that ring. It’s time to tell Charlie." Bella
