  ”i said it would be better if we weren't friends, not that i didn't want

  my clarity of thought.
  ”it would be more… prudent for you not to be my friend,” he explained.
  ”but i'm tired to stay away from you, bella.”
  his eyes were gloriously itered that last sentence, his
  voice sm. i 't remember how to breathe.
  ”will you go with me to seattle?” he asked, still intense.
  i 't speak yet, so i just nodded.
  he smiled briefly, and then his face became serious.

  i flushed ao my seat.
  it wasn't till ded that i realized mike wasn't sitting in his
  usual seat a twi. but he ah met
  me at the door as usual, so i figured i wasn't totally unfiven. mike

  were lucky.
  the rest passed in a blur. it was difficult to believe
  that i hadn't just imagi edward had said, and the way his eyes
  had looked. maybe it was just a very g dream that i'd fused
  with reality. that seemed more probable than that i really appealed to
  him on any level.

  ”does he mean you?” jessica asked with insulting asto in her
  voice.
  ”maybe he h his biology homework,” i muttered for her
  be. ”um, i'd better go see what he wants.” <br/
