Paris

"Jake pressed his warm cheek against the top of my hair. If I turned my face to the side--if I pressed my lips to his bare shoulder . . . I knew without any doubt exactly what would follow. It would be very easy. There would be no need for explanations tonight.
But Could  do it? Could I betray my absent heart to save my pathetic life?
Butterflies assaulted my stomach as I thought about turning my head. And then, as clearly as if I were in immediate danger, Edward's velvet voice whispered in my ear.
'Be happy,' he told me."



My Response:
Ahhh! I hate this part of the book because Jacob, in my mind, is the right guy for her, and Edward had to butt in at the time where Bella might discover just how much she loves Jacob, not only as a friend, but also as a partner. Edward left her, so he shouldn't be in her head, telling her what to do, and interrupting her thoughts. It makes me so mad that he's still with her when he dumped her, then left. Jacob saved her from depression, and herself. He's Bella's "Personal sun", as she states several times, plus he wouldn't drain her of all the blood she has. I wish so much that Bella and Jacob were together, but like always, Edward will always be the bigger picture.
