This argument is old, but I can't give up.

"Why are you denying this?"

"I'm terrified. The guy I loved left me; what's so hard to understand?"

"That love wasn't mutual if he left you. I know that's an awful thing to say, but think about it."

"I don't care about Edward. You could leave me. You!"

"I wouldn't. Promise."

I pull her into my arms, crushing her to me. "You could imprint," she whispers.

"At least if it happens, you'll know I love you. Because I do. I love you."

"Okay."

"You mean it?"

"Yes."

Lips collide.

Argument over.
