Edward is still for several moments, and something of this girl's apparent reckless disregard for danger reminds him of another girl, the one he is trying not to obsess over, the one he cannot help but obsess over.

I want you to make me a promise, Anya. If that is something you attempt to do... I want you to find me first. Tell me, if you decide to do that.
