I’ve been reading New Moon again. I haven’t gotten far. The last few days have been… tough. Reading hasn’t exactly been at the top of my priority list.
I’m reading now though. Somehow the events that play out in the story are a lot more real for me tonight.

“Bella, I don’t want you to come with me.” He spoke the words slowly and precisely, his cold eyes on my face, watching as I absorbed what he was really saying.
There was a pause as I repeated the words in my head a few times, sifting through them for their real intent.
“You…don’t…want me?” I tried out the words, confused by the way they sounded, placed in that order.
“No.”
…
With shaky legs, ignoring the fact that my action was useless, I followed him into the forest. The evidence of his path had disappeared instantly. There were no footprints, the leaves were still again, but I walked forward without thinking. I could not do anything else. I had to keep moving. If I stopped looking for him, it was over.
Love, life, meaning… over.

The impending werewolves were not enough to distract me from her grief tonight.
