Charlie has lived alone for 16-ish years. And he doesn't have a pet. No dog, no cat, no hamster, no goldfish, no boa constrictor, no ant farm. Nothing. It's an example of how arid and lacking in character development this book is.
Back to what's in the book, instead of what should be in it: Bella and Edward have finished their first battle. I think Edward won. Bella says her "thoughts were unmanageable" (51). Meyer doesn't write what those thoughts were, of course, because that would be showing rather than telling and doing that would go against Meyer's principles or something.
Edward rushed as swiftly and as gracefully from the room as he had last Monday.
And now I'm wishing they'd decided to make the Twilight movies musicals.*
( In which Meyer wastes everyone's time )
