Quote #18
[Bella to Charlie:] "I do like him – that's the problem. I can't do this anymore! I can't put down any more roots here! I don't want to end up trapped in this stupid, boring town like Mom! I'm not going to make the same mistake she did. I hate it – I can't stay here another minute!" (19.33)
