Jacob on Eclipse (novel)

← Back to Jacob Profile
“"Does my being half-naked bother you?"”
“"I don't have any leeches on my speed dial."”
“"Yeah, I'll stop by your crypt after school."”
“"You'd be better off dead. I'd rather you were."”
“"The clouds I can handle. But I can't fight with an eclipse."”
“"Did you seriously just stamp your foot? I thought girls only did that on TV."”
“"And when does this little truce end?" Jacob asked. "First light? Or do we wait until after the fight?" There was a pause as they both considered. "First light," they both whispered, and then laughed quietly.”
“"He's like a drug for you, Bella." His voice was still gentle, not at all critical. "I see that you can't live without him now. It's too late. But I would have been healthier for you. Not a drug; I would have been the air, the sun."”
“"I'm exactly right for you, Bella. It would have been effortless for us — comfortable, easy as breathing. I was the natural path your life would have taken. [...] If the world was the way it was supposed to be, if there were no monsters and no magic..."”
“"Sometimes I think you like me better as a wolf." "Sometimes I do. It probably has something to do with the way you can't talk." He pursed his broad lips thoughtfully. "No, I don't think that's it. I think it's easier for you to be near me when I'm not human, because you don't have to pretend that you're not attracted to me."[...] "No. I'm pretty sure it's because you can't talk."”
