The party was over and Quil laid down on his bed. Someone knocked at the door.
"Quil, darling, may I come in?"
"Of course, mum." Joy was still a beautiful woman and Quil didn't understand how she could be single yet. She tousled his hairs.
"Mu-um!"
"You had an argument with Embry." Silence. "I always knew that you'll have a strong relationship with Embry but I didn't know what sort. But I know this look. You're heartbroken and, if I love Claire, I love you more. It's time to go home my sweet son." Quil closed his eyes and smiled.
