Bella collects the batteries, puts one of the AAAs in one of the laser pointers and makes sure it turns on, puts her phone battery back in, and then goes as briskly as she can back towards her house.

She resets the alarm with a minute and a half to spare.

She updates her in the event of my death file on her laptop.

She will have to go get her twilight powder some other night.

It's for destroying the Gem of Amara, and she sees no strong reason she won't be able to perform the final act of will that constitutes the spell while the ring's on a vampire.

She'll quietly go about getting her materials and then if he doesn't behave she'll have her ace in the hole.

She goes to sleep.
