This is not the first New Moon photo we’ve published from the movie, nor will it be the last.

But it might be the most controversial.

In the following shot from the Twilight sequel, Bella and Jacob sit across from each other in the car, recreating one of the most memorable scenes from Stephenie Meyer’s novel.

As fans of the series know, Bella (Kristen Stewart) nearly gives into temptation with Jacob (Taylor Lautner). Can you blame the gal? Edward has been absent from her life for awhile at this point.

The New Moon passage this scene is likely based on takes us inside Bella’s thought process as she stares into the eyes of the dreamy Jacob Black:

Would it be so wrong to try to make Jacob happy? Even if the love I felt for him was no more than a weak echo of what I was capable of, even if my heart was far away, wandering and grieving after my fickle Romeo, would it be so very wrong?
– New Moon 16:375

Would it be wrong, readers? You tell us.

Are you on Team Edward or Team Jacob?
