around our house doesn’t mean you’ll never get lost. It would kill me if something happened to you.
Not to mention what your parents would do to me.” He kissed the side of her head. “Promise me you
won’t run off again.”
She nodded and sat up to wipe her eyes. “I promise.”

Renesmee picked at the fish on her plate while Alice and Jasper ate quietly. Alice had been
surprised that there had only been three fish, and Renesmee tried to hide when Jasper explained
what had happened. Alice hadn’t said much, but it wasn’t hard to tell she was angry.
“Aunt Alice?” Renesmee asked tacitly
Alice raised her head to look at her niece. She was more disappointed than angry, and terrified of
what could have happened. “Yes?”
Renesmee cleared her throat. “Um, first, I want to say that I’m sorry for what I did. It was stupid, I
know—”
“Yes, it was stupid. Very stupid.” Jasper placed his hand over Alice’s to calm her down.
“I’m sorry. I want to know if I’ll still be able to go out with Jacob on Saturday.”
Alice stood up and took her empty plate to the sink, unable to speak for a moment. She went back
and put her hands on her hips. “You want to go out with Jacob after nearly getting yourself killed?”
“Aunt Alice, I—”
“Don’t interrupt me. Your uncle and I promised your mother and father that we would take care of
you. You promised your uncle you would stay where he could see you. What did you think was going
to happen, Renesmee? Did you expect to get off with just a slap on the wrist?”
“No, but—”
“You could have gotten killed!” Alice threw her arms up. Jasper got up and stood behind her, putting
his hands on her shoulders. “What would I have told your parents if you never came back?” Her eyes
watered, and she swatted away a tear. “I thought you had more sense than that. It’s scary out
there, honey. Your grandfather died by animals out there, and he knew what he was doing!”
Renesmee cried silently. She knew she deserved everything she got. After a moment, Alice took a
deep breath.
“Please don’t ever do that again.”
“I promise.”
Alice held out her arms, and Renesmee stood up to go to her. As they embraced, Jasper wrapped his
arms around both of them.
