Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 8, p.173

So what’s the latest pack scandal?
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 8, p.173

It’s not like love at first sight, really. It’s more like… gravity moves. When you see her, suddenly it’s not the earth holding you here anymore. She does. And nothing matters more than her. And you would do anything for her, be anything for her… You become whatever she needs you to be, whether that’s a protector, or a lover, or a friend, or a brother.
Jacob Black, Eclipse, Chapter 8, p.176

We can’t all be freakishly strong.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 8, p.177

Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 8, p.178

I held very still — a reaction to stress. It was a habit I’d picked up from Edward.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 8, p.180

You won’t be Bella anymore. My friend won’t exist. There’ll be no one to forgive.
Jacob Black, Eclipse, Chapter 8, p.182

You’d be better off dead. I rather you were.
Jacob Black, Eclipse, Chapter 8, p.183

There was no friction in the space between us. The stillness was peaceful — not like the calm before the tempest, but like a clear night untouched by even the dream of a storm.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 8, p.185

I was all braced for the wrath that was going to put grizzlies to shame, and this is what I get? I should infuriate you more often.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 8, p.186

I like danger.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 8, p.188

I’m going to spontaneously combust one of these days — and you’ll have no one but yourself to blame.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 8, p.188

I don’t mind if you want to give me the wrong impression again.

You can hold me hostage any time you want.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 8, p.189

Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 8, p.190

If you’re going to have a lapse in control, I can think of a better place for it.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 8, p.192

Must I always be the responsible one?
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 8, p.192

Let me be in charge of responsibility for a few minutes… or hours.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 8, p.192

I prefer brunettes.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 8, p.194

You’re quite adorable when you’re jealous. It’s surprisingly enjoyable.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 8, p.194

You are the only one who has ever touched my heart. It will always be yours.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 8, p.195
