Happy New Year
Leah Clearwater has a New Year party all by herself. Because she does not need anyone else besides herself; a lesson she had finally learned.
Seth's gone to a party; Quil's with Claire, both sleeping; Embry's getting sloshed at a local bar; Jacob's with the Cullens. And she is alone, sitting in an empty house on an empty couch watching the recorded dropping of the ball on TV.
No voices are in her head, and she is relaxed. She toasts the New Year, the New Decade, and throws back her shot of tequila happily.
"Happy New Year."
