her family had tried to contact her many times. calling the reservation at first, SURE in their knowledge that she just HAD to be with Jacob. because where else would she be? never considering that she may be somewhere else. ANYWHERE else. indeed, she was nowhere near the small reservation or small town of forks where she could easily be found. instead, she had a small duffel bag sitting beside her, pale hands SHAKING inside of the pocket of her sweatshirt as she waited for nahuel to show. they would board a plane and figure things out, that is what he had PROMISED and it was all she had to hold on to.
she did not expect to see jessamine. in fact, she had forgotten about her aunt’s trip to europe with archie and had not even thought about running into them here or what she would say. EXCUSES, it seemed, flowed quicker than the river currents. terrified, the girl found she could not even TURN AWAY to run when jessamine’s eyes met her own. ❝ i ...can explain. ❞ her voice was mumbled but she KNEW that despite the hustle and bustle of the airport her aunt heard her loud and clear. of course whether anyone ever heard the undercurrents of depression in the hybrid’s voice was unclear.
