Surely It Was A Good Way To Die, In The Place Of Someone Else, Someone I Loved.

So, Instead Of Panicking, I Closed My Eyes And Spent The Twenty Minutes' Drive With Edward. I Imagined That I Had Stayed At The Airport To Meet Edward.

"hey Jacob!" I Felt An Unfamiliar Surge Of Enthusiasm At His Smile. I Realized That I Was Pleased To See Him. This Knowledge Surprised Me. I Smiled Back, And Something Clicked Silently Into Place, Like Two Corresponding Puzzle Pieces. I'd Forgotten How Much I Really Liked Jacob Black.
