After lying there for a few moments, she sits up and looks at the bracelet around her wrist.

[And here comes Rose, who Bella might notice is looking down at her from a few feet away.]

[outofplaceklutz]

[Give her a minute and she'll probably just barely notice you, Rose. When she does, she'll sit up and just look at you for a moment before speaking.]

Hey.

[pileof_ashes]

You're taking it better than I thought.

[She remains standing over her.]

[outofplaceklutz]

How so?

[Yes Rose, there's no emotion in her voice.]

[pileof_ashes]

For one, you aren't throwing yourself off a cliff.

[outofplaceklutz]

No. But it's not like I haven't thought about it.

[pileof_ashes]

You'll just come back anyway.

[outofplaceklutz]

That's the problem.

[pileof_ashes]

Well then, you have to find some other way to cope.

[outofplaceklutz]

It's not like I'm not trying.

[pileof_ashes]

Or maybe it's like you're not trying at all.

[outofplaceklutz]

It's not easy for me to live without him, Rosalie.

...You'll live.

[outofplaceklutz]

...I know...

[pileof_ashes]

I think you need a distraction.

[Here, have a "like what?" look.]
