why didn't you tell me?

Before that, I couldn't believe
Edward lied about bringing it back.

She could do the same to us.

She would never do--

Magical people cannot fraternize with humans.

while you have orb magic, I need to know
that you're fully committed to us, to our world.

I'm asking you to choose.

You thought nothing of using my daughter to prove your point.

- Lily, this is not your concern.
- I would never have done it if I thought it would hurt her.

You're too young to wield such power.
It's all very well for Lily to say that you can be trusted,
