This time, there would be no Carlisle to save me. This time, I sought death with the slim hope of finding Bella on the other side. Or, if that were the impossibility I knew it to be, perhaps I would be granted an occasional glimpse of her in heaven as I writhed in my eternal hell.

Yes.

This would be my last night on this Earth. Nothing could stop that now. Not even Alice.
