Dear Jacob,

I didn't think it would all lead up to this. I remember when we went to Hawaii together with Leah and Bryan. I wanted them there so everything could remain platonic with the two of us, and it worked. You respected Bryan and I enough not to flaunt your for me in front of us, while we were both still grieving. Those two weeks brought the four of us closer than we thought possible. The night we all stood waist high in the ocean while watching the sunset was something I'll never forget. It was a reminder of how beautiful life could be.

I remember when Leah told you about her relationship with Embry. We were all caught of guard, but you took it well and gave them your approval. That's when I realized you were almost ready to be alpha. I remember when Bryan was cussing you out and screaming at you because he heard you and Leah talk about how much you loved me. He told you so many awful things, but you remained calm. I was beside myself with worry when you took him away for a talk. Leah told me it would be okay and to trust you, so I did. When you guys came back, Bryan and I had a talk. I'm not ready to tell you what our conversation was about, and I don't know if I ever will. After that, we all understood each other.

On our last night in Hawaii, you asked me for a hang out; just the two of us. I agreed, only with Bryan and Leah's approval, which they both gave. I told you it was going to take time and that I didn't know if I could ever love you the same way again. You said you understood and that you would wait forever as my friend, if that's what it took. I told you not to hold your breath for me, but you still did.

When we got back, Bryan went straight to travelling the world with Justin's ashes. Angela had emailed me and told me the necklace she left at my apartment was for me. It had some of Justin's ash in the heart pendant, so I'll always have a piece of him in my heart. I cried a lot after reading her email, and you just sat there comforting me. You didn't try to make any advances and when I did, you stopped me. I want to thank you for that. In a few short weeks, we all headed back to Forks. I got a job as a nurse in the Fork's hospital right away and my parents thanked you so much for bringing me back. I want to thank you for not telling them about Justin. I did tell them about him, but on his death anniversary. They understood, and I went to the Weber's for the first time, in over a year. It was tearful reunion. It was also the day you finally took the role as alpha.

Everyone in the pack was so welcoming of me. They understood why we had to be friends and they were all supportive. You supported me when I decided to live on my own apartment, even though I knew you wanted me to move in with you. I still couldn't be more than friends at that point, but I still supported you when you became alpha. I remember we hung out like friends for months. We played video games, watched chick flicks, worked on your car, and just hung out. You didn't try anything and I'm so thankful for that. It was great. Because I wasn't so focused on you, I got to know the rest of the pack and they got to know me too. Sam was like a strict older brother while Emily was the one I could go to when everything got to confusing. Leah and Embry were the ones to go to when I just needed to chill and not think about anything. Quil was the one to go to when I wanted to do something insane. Jared was the one I could go to for financial advice, while Kim gave life advice. Claire was so innocent but wise. Paul was the one I could go to if I was in any trouble and Rachel was the one to go to when I need help with anything. You, however, were the one I went to for all of those things and more.

A month after Justin's 2nd year death anniversary, you asked me on a date. I agreed and it was the best date I've ever been to. We clicked, we were right, we fit so well and it just felt like flowers were blossoming in my chest. We went on dates but they were few and far between. You were busy with being alpha and owning your own mechanic store while I was busy becoming a full time nurse at Fork's Hospital. We still made it work. There were a few fights and tears but they meant nothing compared to all the laughter and love we shared. When I finally agreed to be your girlfriend, you asked me if you could breath. I was confused at the time, but after a few moments I laughed and said no, not yet. You asked me why, and I told you that you would understand once I told you. It's been a year since then, 2 years since our second first date, 4 years since Hawaii, 4 1/2 years since you found me in Canada, 5 1/2 years since I first left you and 6 1/2 years since we first met. It seemed like such a long time, and it has been a long time. I love you much more now than I ever did, but you have to know I loved you each day in those 6 1/2 years. I might have made it tough on you too, but I never stopped loving you.

Yesterday, you asked me a question. I told you I would give you the answer in a letter today. The answer is...

You can start breathing Jacob. Yes.

Your fiance,

Adalie Yaven
