I curled over, pressing my face against the steering wheel and trying to breathe without lungs.

All the lines that held me to my life were sliced apart in swift cuts, like clipping the strings of a bunch of balloons.

I'd never understood how Carlisle was able to do that - ignore the blood of his patients in order to treat them. Wouldn't the constant temptation be so distracting, so dangerous? But now, I could see how, if you were focusing on something else hard enough, the temptation was be nothing at all.

Perhaps without the lows, the highs could not be reached.

Ian didn't come. He just sat here with you--he said he didn't care what you looked like. He wouldn't let anyone else put a finger on your tank at all, not even me or Mel.
