Run, I thought to myself.

"I won't hurt you, Bella," he promised.

Run.

"Please trust me," he begged.

Run.

"You are my life now," he assured.

Run.

"We belong together," he professed.

Run.

"I can't live without you," he admitted.

Run.

"I'll never leave you," he affirmed.

Run.

"You're so beautiful," he breathed.

Run.

"I can make you feel so good," he cooed.

Run.

"I think about you constantly," he confessed.

Run.

"I need you," he declared.

Run.

"I want you," he sighed.

Run.

"I love you," he whispered.
