A deep sigh, apprehensive.

Had to start somewhere.

"Isabella Marie Swan... the things I told you were lies. Unforgiveable, malicious, arrogant lies."

She still wasn't looking at me.

My throat spasmed, hard.

"The only thing I want is for you to be happy, and human. A life as a vampire is not a gift, it's a curse. I couldn't.. didn't want to do that to you."

And still nothing.

Holy shit.

I'm doing it, right now. Practically gift-wrapping her for Jacob Black.

"I am so deeply sorry for hurting you so fucking terribly, Bella."
