PERFECT SYMMETRY
10. Holy truth
"You should've called" Leah says ushering him inside. It's raining and even though he runs a fever like the rest of them, all the humidity drives them all crazy at some point.
"Someone would've driven and picked you up at the airport"Leah says coming out the kitchen with a mug of steaming black coffeee.
"Where's Jake?" He asks looking around the house, and actually being surprised at the lack of noise. He was expecting them all to be here, but then again it's better they aren't. He didn't come back for them.
"He went grocery shopping with Quil and the girls" She dismisses him.
"Seth?" He asks after taking a sip "Patrolling with Embry" She comes back into the living room, with a turkey sandwich fixed.
"I know airplane food sucks, and you guys are always hungry" She explains. She is trying to make polite chit chat, because she has no clue into what the hell is Sam Uley doing at her house, flying across the Altantic out of the blue.
"Leah..." She knows his tone before he starts, so she gives him one last chance before he fucks up and they can't go back.
"How is Emily?" She says rapidly, but when Sam's eyes don't glaze over and he doesn't smile. She regrets asking in the first place because there's her answer. Something's wrong and it has everything to do with her.
"The imprint broke" And the porcelain cup shatters spilling the dark substance all over her carpet. But Leah doesn't seem to notice at all,she's too transfixed looking back at Sam, the longing, the love and the relief his eyes are reflecting, can't be all lies.
"The imprint broke" She echoes, and then shakes her head. "No."
"Lee lee" And it doesn't even hurt to hear him say it. It doesn't sound blasphemous anymore. It sounds honest like it used to,only ten times he's lost her and now fate has give him a second chance, and he'll be damned if he doesn't fight for her this time around.
"Does... Is.." But she can't find words to convey what she's feeling. Because she doesn't even know what she's feeling. She's feeling too much. She can barely keep her emotions in check, when he kneels before her. Like he once did...years ago....when forever only meant growing old together.
"I love you" There's no pain, no hesitation when he says it. It's true. It's always been true, but now...
The truth sets him free, and it locks her in place.
