"Edward," said Alice, and nearly bit her tongue. (That might not be a good thing for a vampire to do, but she wasn't sure.) Maybe she should just not talk about the people she loved in front of a girl who was so obviously trouble... Not that she thought Edward would really be in any amount of physical danger from Maia, but frankly, she'd rather not have her brother cranky. And she was not going to mention Jasper to Maia at all. He was already suffering enough.
Alice took the half-assed insult with the serenity of someone who knows they're beautiful to the only person who matters, and even smiled at Maia. "And you're the girl who likes to be mean. I remember." Alice had met plenty of people like that, but very few vampires. Bad vampires, yes, even cruel, sadistic and bloodthirsty ones, but mean? That was definitely more common in humans. Interesting thing, that.
