I pulled the unmarked envelope out of my pocket and set it on top of Alice's black leather bag. She looked at me.
我把那封尚未署名的信封從錢包里拿出來，放到愛麗絲那只黑色的皮包上。她看著我。
"My letter," I said. She nodded, tucking it under the top flap. He would find it soon enough.
“我的信。”我說道。她點了點頭，把那封信收到皮包最外面的夾層里。他很快就會看到它了。
The minutes passed and Edward's arrival grew closer. It was amazing how every cell in my body seemed to know he was coming, to long for his coming. That made it very hard. I found myself trying to think of excuses to stay, to see him first and then make my escape. But I knew that was impossible if I was going to have any chance to get away.
時間一分一秒地過去，愛德華的到來越來越近了。這實在是件驚人的事，我體內的每一個細胞似乎都知道他就要到來，都渴望著他的到來。這讓事情變得很棘手。我發現自己試圖想出留下來的借口，想要先看他一眼，再脫身而去。但我知道，只要我有任何機會脫身，這一切就不可能發生。
Several times Alice offered to go get breakfast with me. Later, I told her, not yet.
愛麗絲幾次提出要陪我去吃早餐。再等會兒，我告訴她，我還不餓。
I stared at the arrival board, watching as flight after flight arrived on time. The flight from Seattle crept closer to the top of the board.
我盯著到達航班布告屏，看著一個又一個航班準時抵達。從西雅圖飛來的航班越來越靠近布告屏的頂端了。
And then, when I had only thirty minutes to make my escape, the numbers changed. His plane was ten minutes early. I had no more time.
然后，當我還剩下三十分鐘可以脫身的時候，屏幕上的數字變了。他的航班提前十分鐘到達。我沒時間了。
"I think I'll eat now," I said quickly.
“我想我現在需要吃點東西了。”我迅速說道。
Alice stood. "I'll come with you."
愛麗絲站起來。“我和你一起去。”
"Do you mind if Jasper comes instead?" I asked. "I'm feeling a little…" I didn't finish the sentence. My eyes were wild enough to convey what I didn't say.
“你介意讓賈斯帕陪我嗎？”我問道。“我覺得有點……”我沒把句子說完。我眼里的狂亂已足以表達我沒有說出的一切。
Jasper stood up. Alice's eyes were confused, but I saw to my relief not suspicious.
賈斯帕站了起來。愛麗絲的眼里寫滿了困惑，但令我寬慰的是，我看到她眼里并沒有懷疑的痕跡。
