 Thanks, I said, though I had no idea what it could be. Why don't you come in for a minute and dry off? “谢谢。”我说道，尽管我根本不知道那会是什么。“你们为什么不进来坐会儿，把自己弄干呢？”

I pretended to be oblivious¹ to his intense scrutiny² as I unlocked the door, and waved them in ahead of me. 当我开门的时候，我装作浑然不觉他紧张的监视，然后挥手示意他们走在我前头。

Here, let me take that, I offered, turning to shut the door. I allowed myself one last glance at Edward.  “来吧，让我来拿这个。”我主动说着，转身关上门。我允许自己最后再看一眼爱德华，

He was waiting, perfectly³ still, his eyes solemn. 他依然等在那里，一动不动，他的眼神很严肃。

You'll want to put it in the fridge, Billy noted⁴ as he handed me the package.  “你最好把它放到冰箱离去。”比利把纸盒子递给我，提醒道。

It's some of Harry⁵ Clearwater's homemade fish fry — Charlie's favorite. The fridge keeps it drier. He shrugged⁶. “这是一些哈利?克里尔沃特家自制的煎鱼——查理的最爱。冰箱能让它保持干燥。”他耸耸肩。

Thanks, I repeated, but with feeling this time. I was running out of new ways to fix fish, and he's bound to bring home more tonight. “谢谢，”我重复道，但这次是真诚的感谢。“我已经想不出新的做鱼的方法了，可他今晚还会带更多的鱼回家。”

Fishing again? Billy asked with a subtle gleam in his eye. Down at the usual spot? Maybe I'll run by and see him. “又去钓鱼了？”比利问道，眼里闪过一丝微妙的亮光。“还在那个老地方？也许我可以开车过去看他。”

No, I quickly lied, my face going hard. He was headed someplace new… but I have no idea where. “不，”我立刻撒谎道，我的脸严峻起来。“他去了一个新地方……但我不知道在哪里。”

He took in my changed expression, and it made him thoughtful. 他把我的表情变化看在了眼里，这让他深思起来。

Jake, he said, still appraising⁷ me. Why don't you go get that new picture of Rebecca out of the car? I'll leave that for Charlie, too. “杰可，”他说着，依然审视着我。“你为什么不回车里把瑞贝卡的新照片拿过来？我想把它也留给查理。”

Where is it? Jacob asked, his voice morose⁸. I glanced at him, but he was staring at the floor, his eyebrows⁹ pulling together. “放在哪里？”雅克布问道，他的声音显得很郁闷。我看了他一眼，但他一直盯着地面，他的眉毛蹙在一起。
