do　it　all　the　time。　Like　I　said；

nothing。〃

Charlie's　face　heated　up—from　frozen　to　hot　with　fury。　〃What's　it　to　Edward

Cullen　anyway？〃　he　barked。

〃All　this　time；　he's　just　left　you　dangling　without　a　word—〃

I　interrupted　him。　〃Another　misunderstanding。〃

His　face　flushed　again。　〃So　is　he　back　then？〃

〃I'm　not　sure　what　the　exact　plan　is。　I　think　they　all　are。〃

He　shook　his　head；　the　vein　in　his　forehead　pulsing。　〃I　want　you　to　stay　away

from　him；　Bella。　I　don't　trust

him。　He's　rotten　for　you。　I　won't　let　him　mess　you　up　like　that　again。〃

〃Fine；〃　I　said　curtly。

you're　worried；　but　you　need

to　trust　me　on　this。　And　you're　going　to　have　to　ease　up　on　Edward　if　you　want

me　to　stay。　Do　you　want

me　to　live　here　or　not？〃

〃That's　not　fair；　Bella。　You　know　I　want　you　to　stay。〃

〃Then　be　nice　to　Edward；　because　he's　going　to　be　where　I　am。〃　I　said　it　with

confidence。　The　conviction

of　my　epiphany　was　still　strong。

〃Not　under　my　roof；〃　Charlie　stormed。

I　sighed　a　heavy　sigh。　〃Look；　I'm　not　going　to　give　you　any　more　ultimatums

tonight—or　I　guess　it's　this
