When I got back to the house, there was no one waiting outside for my report. Still on alert?
Everything's cool,I thought tiredly.
My eyes quickly caught a small change in the now-familiar scene. There was a stack of light-coloredfabric on the bottom step of the porch. I loped over to investigate. Holding my breath, because thevampire smell stuck to the fabric1 like you wouldn't believe, I nudged the stack with my nose.
Someone had laid out clothes. Huh. Edward must have caught my moment of irritation3 as I'd bolted outthe door. Well. That was... nice. And weird4.

The homeless thing again—not having anyplace to go back to. No possessions, either, which wasn'tbothering me too bad now, but would probably get annoying soon.
Exhausted, I walked slowly up the Cullens' porch steps in my fancy new secondhand clothes buthesitated when I got to the door. Did I knock? Stupid, when they knew I was here. I wondered why noone acknowledged that—toldme either to come in or get lost Whatever. I shrugged8 and let myself in.
More changes. The room had shifted back to normal—almost—in the last twenty minutes. The bigflat-screen was on, low volume, showing some chick
