ld　of　a　teenager；　the

tendons　and　veins　had

bee　prominent　under　the　red…brown　skin　of　his　arms；　his　hands。　His　face　was

still　sweet　like　I

remembered　it；　though　it　had　hardened；　too—the　planes　of　his　cheekbones

sharper；　his　jaw　squared　off；

all　childish　roundness　gone。

〃Hey；　Jacob！〃　I　felt　an　unfamiliar　surge　of　enthusiasm　at　his　smile。　I

realized　that　I　was　pleased　to　see　him。

This　knowledge　surprised　me。

I　smiled　back；　and　something　clicked　silently　into　place；　like　two

〃Hey；　Dad；〃　he　called　as　he　ducked　to　get　through　the　front　door。　〃Look　who

Billy　was　in　the　tiny　square　living　room；　a　book　in　his　hands。　He　set　the　book

in　his　lap　and　wheeled

himself　forward　when　he　saw　me。

〃Well；　what　do　you　know！　It's　good　to　see　you；　Bella。〃

We　shook　hands。　Mine　was　lost　in　his　wide　grasp。
