Recap: "Mom, I think you should do it. Let him in your life. He seems like a nice enough guy, and evidently, you were with him before..." she stopped and hesitated for a minute, knowing she wasn't supposed to know this, and continued on a different note. "You almost married the guy! And you hate marriage!" We all laughed at that one. "All we want is for you to be happy, Mom." And with that, they all walked out of the room to let me think. I thought about what Rosealice said. All we want is for you to be happy. Happy. What is happy?

I needed to think. "Who wants to go to La Push?" I yelled to the upstairs. Conner was suddenly beside me.

"What's in La Push?" Conner asked. They knew La Push was a town nearby, but I had never allowed them to go.

"A few old friends." I smiled at the thought. The pack felt sorry for me about Jacob. I didn't want their attention. Or their sympathy. I was the only vampire allowed across the border.

"Are these," he made air quotes with his hands, "friends" like Edward?" he scowled.

"No. They're like..." I didn't want to repeat his name, "you." Conner raised his eyebrows in amazement.

"You mean...?"

"Yes. Werewolves."

"Wow." Conner said. "I wanna meet 'em."

"ARE THEY HOT?" I heard Rosalice and Renee say at the same time. I laughed.

"You two would probably think so."

"YAY! Let's go!" We got all our things for the beach including bikinis, towels, and extra clothes, and we headed for La Push.
