"Bella, you've got to read this," Jessica whispered, dropping the folded paper on my tray. I shook my head, sure it was another one of those titillating stories Jessica downloaded from the internet, because Edward was smirking.

I skimmed the first page . . . and used it to wrap the remains of my sour fruit. Cores were something to be thrown away, not things to be poked or prodded.

Edward pretended he was fighting the urge not to laugh. Groundhogs probably made the same little, satisfied grunting noises when they successfully tore up another garden.

He was never getting near my apple.
