I felt a tranquil atmosphere settle around me. I welcomed it, using it to keep my emotions disciplined, under control.
我感到一陣寧靜籠罩著我。我對這寧靜很是歡迎，利用它來控制自己的情緒，讓自己的思緒有條不紊。
Alice, too, recovered herself.
愛麗絲也恢復了過來。
"Nothing, really," she answered finally, her voice remarkably calm and convincing. "Just the same room as before."
“沒事，真的。”她最終答道，她的聲音異常地平靜，令人信服。“跟之前的那間房間一樣。”
She finally looked at me, her expression smooth and withdrawn. "Did you want breakfast?"
她終于看向我，她的神情既平靜又孤僻。“你想吃早餐了嗎？”
"No, I'll eat at the airport." I was very calm, too. I went to the bathroom to shower. Almost as if I were borrowing Jasper's strange extra sense, I could feel Alice's wild though well-concealed desperation to have me out of the room, to be alone with Jasper. So she could tell him that they were doing something wrong, that they were going to fail…
“不，我會在機場吃早餐。”我也很平靜。我走進浴室，去洗個澡。簡直像是我借用了賈斯帕的特異感覺一樣，我能感覺到愛麗絲強烈的盡管她掩飾得很好絕望地想讓我離開這間屋子，讓她和賈斯帕獨處的情緒。這樣她就能告訴他他們做錯了某件事，他們注定要失敗……
I got ready methodically, concentrating on each little task. I left my hair down, swirling around me, covering my face. The peaceful mood Jasper created worked its way through me and helped me think clearly. Helped me plan. I dug through my bag until I found my sock full of money. I emptied it into my pocket.
我有條不紊地做著準備，全神貫注地做好每一件瑣事。我把頭發放下來，披散在肩上，遮蓋住自己的臉。賈斯帕所營造的安寧的氣氛很有用，它能幫助我條理清晰地思考著。也有助于我的計劃。我在書包里翻找著，挖出了我那只裝滿了錢的襪子。我把它倒空，把錢全部塞進了我的錢包里。
I was anxious to get to the airport, and glad when we left by seven. I sat alone this time in the back of the dark car. Alice leaned against the door, her face toward Jasper but, behind her sunglasses, shooting glances in my direction every few seconds.
我迫不及待地想要到機場去，當我們在七點整出發的時候，我深感欣慰。這一次我獨自坐在那輛黑色的轎車后排。愛麗絲倚在門上，她的臉朝著賈斯帕，但是，在她的太陽眼鏡之下，她的眼睛每隔幾秒就會向我的方向瞥一眼。
"Alice?" I asked indifferently.
“愛麗絲？”我漠不關心地問道。
She was wary. "Yes?"
她很警惕。“嗯？”
"How does it work? The things that you see?" I stared out the side window, and my voice sounded bored. "Edward said it wasn't definite… that things change?" It was harder than I would have thought to say his name. That must have been what alerted Jasper, why a fresh wave of serenity filled the car.
“這是怎么做到的？你是怎么看見事物的呢？”我看向另一側的窗外，我的聲音聽起來興趣索然。“愛德華說過這不是很準確……事情會改變嗎？”說出他的名字比我想過的還要困難。這一定讓賈斯帕警惕起來，于是，一陣新鮮的清朗之氣滌蕩在車內。
