"I'm not going anywhere, Bella. I've waited much too long for you and wanted you for far too long to walk away from you now. No amount of scars or panic attacks are going to push me away. I'm in this for the long haul."
"I know that...in my heart. My head is having a harder time catching up."
"Can I hold you now?" Edward asked, almost vibrating with emotion.
I nodded and he immediately gathered me up into his embrace.
"I'll wait. For however long it takes, I will wait for your head to catch up with your heart. I will wait for you forever."
