rf。　We're　not　allowed　to　attack　any　of　them；　the

Cullens；　at　least；　off　our

land—unless　they　break　the　treaty　first。　We　didn't　know　if　the　black…haired

〃If　they　bite　a　human。　Jake　wasn't　so　keen　on　the　idea　of　letting　it　go　that

〃Oh。　Um；　thanks。　I'm　glad　you　didn't　wait。〃

〃That's　okay。　I　won't　forget。〃
