"Promise you will never leave me," Leah whispers to Jacob.

"I can't promise you that, Leah," Jacob whispers back to her. "We both knew this was a risk we were going to take when we started this. What if I imprint? What if you imprint?"

Leah knocks herself and Jacob into a lying position on the couch. "I won't imprint," she growls. "And neither will you."

"Leah, I can't promise you I won't leave. I want to…"

Leah crushes her lips passionately against Jacob's. She clings to him as though if she lets go, she'll drown.

"Promise me anyway."
