    “What did you call her?" she asks but I don't think it's her real question.
    "Sunshine," I say, and she smiles like she believes it's perfect and she may be the only person other than me who would think so.
    "What is she to you?" she whispers. The real question and I know the answer even if I don't know how to say it.
    Drew's muffled voice rises up from the floor before I can respond.
    "Family," he says.
    And he's right.”

    Stephenie Meyer
    “Before you, Bella, my life was like a moonless night. Very dark, but there were stars, points of light and reason. ...And then you shot across my sky like a meteor. Suddenly everything was on fire; there was brilliancy, there was beauty. When you were gone, when the meteor had fallen over the horizon, everything went black. Nothing had changed, but my eyes were blinded by the light. I couldn’t see the stars anymore. And there was no more reason, for anything.”
