Edward and I had not had a last grand scene of farewell, nor did I plan one. To speak the word was to make it final. It would be the same as typing the words The End on the last page of a manuscript. So we did not say our goodbyes, and we stayed very close to each other, always touching. Whatever end found us, it would not find us separated.
In "Breaking Dawn" by Stephenie Meyer, the narrator reflects on the absence of a dramatic farewell with Edward. Instead of marking their relationship's conclusion with words, they choose to remain physically close, understanding that saying goodbye would finalize their bond, much like concluding a story. This decision highlights their desire to maintain an emotional connection, avoiding the finality that explicit farewells bring.
The narrator emphasizes the need for closeness and touch, suggesting that their bond transcends the need for spoken goodbyes. They choose to face whatever challenges lie ahead together, reinforcing the idea that their connection is a constant presence, even as they navigate uncertainties. Their relationship remains anchored in shared moments, emphasizing intimacy over the anxiety of separation.
