Desperate, racking sobs caught the attention of the lone silver wolf on patrol.
Phasing back, he observed the little brunette from Forks, Bella's friend, Jessica. Her eyes were red from weeping, underscored by dark circles.
Sighing, he crouched in the sand, hauling her into his arms.
"Where— you— taking—"
"Sh…" he crooned. "Bella's at my place cooking for the bonfire tonight."
"O-heh-kay," she rasped, hiccuping.
Cradling her in one arm, Paul pulled the wrinkled shirt from his back pocket and offered it. "Here."
She sobbed. "I'll-heh get it all-heh—"
"Shirts wash." he shrugged it off and kept walking.
