"There was no denying that Melanie had died a long time ago. Her sacrifice had broken Jamie's and my heart. So how was I supposed to feel now that her body snatcher has found its way back to us?" Jared's point of view of The Host. Why on earth is he so stubborn?

This starts where The Host ends - with a kiss in the dark. It continues to explore the beautiful new beginning between Ian and Wanda after they kiss in the game room. Both Jared and Melanie bring complexity to the story but nothing is meant to be out of character. Intended for mature audiences as there are lots of lemons.
