They are some of my favorites too.

he spoke slowly. "Marry me first."
I stared at him, waiting… "Okay. What's the punch line?"
He sighed. "You're wounding my ego, Bella. I just proposed to you, and you think it's a joke." 😆 😆
"Oh, c'mon," I said, an edge of hysteria in my voice. "I'm only eighteen."
"Well, I'm nearly a hundred and ten. It's time I settled down." 😆 😆 😆
"Look, marriage isn't exactly that high on my list of priorities, you know? It was sort of the
kiss of death for Renee and Charlie."
"Interesting choice of words." 😆 😆 😆
"You know what I mean."
He inhaled deeply. "Please don't tell me that you're afraid of the commitment, 😆 😆 😆 " his voice was
disbelieving, and I understood what he meant.
"That's not it exactly," I hedged. "I'm… afraid of Renee. She has some really intense opinions
on getting married before you're thirty."
"Because she'd rather you became one of the eternal damned than get married." He laughed
darkly. 😆 😆 😆
He shook his head. "If you're
not brave enough to marry me, then–"
"Well," I interrupted. "What if I did? What if I told you to take me to Vegas now? Would I
be a vampire in three days?"
He smiled, his teeth flashing in the dark. "Sure, "I'll get my car." 😉 😆 😆
"You're impossible," I groaned. "A monster."
He chuckled. "Is that why you won't marry me?" 😆 😆 😆
