Dawn had just crested the horizon.
I was outside her window, like some kind of crazed stalker.
But she was so agonizingly close. It was now or never.
I scaled the house and entered her window without a second thought.
She was asleep, restlessly. Her legs were tangled in her blankets like she'd thrashed all night.
I tried to take a step forward. Couldn't make my body cooperate.
Those chilling consequences still hung around my neck.
A wolf man's noose.
The possibility she wanted Jacob Black - a dog - more than she wanted me.
Any sane person should.
