* Lara’s Comment from the last episode

And was thinking about your discussion of Victoria, and not seeing her as a villain because she did what she did out of grief and anger for the Cullens killing James. And it popped in my head that Stephanie Meyer said the same thing essentially. I think it was somewhere in the behind the scenes for Eclipse where she said something to the effect of, “To Victoria, Bella is just like a hamburger, and how would you feel if your true love was killed over some hamburger?”LOL! I remember totally cracking up over that and thinking it was nice that SM had such a good sense of humor about her books.
