；　anxious　for　more。

My　voice　was　nearly　soundless。　〃You　told　me　scary　stories　Quileute　legends。〃

He　closed　his　eyes　and　opened　them　again。　〃Yes。〃　The　word　was　tense；　fervent；

like　he　was　on　the　edge

of　something　vital。　He　spoke　slowly；　making　each　word　distinct。　〃Do　you

remember　what　I　said？〃

Even　in　the　dark；　he　must　be　able　to　see　the　change　in　the　color　of　my　face。

How　could　I　ever　forget

that？　Without　realizing　what　he　was　doing；　Jacob　had　told　me　exactly　what　I

started　to　shake　my　head。

Jacob　groaned　and　jumped　off　the　bed。　He　pressed　his　fists　against　his

forehead　and　breathed　fast　and

angry。　〃You　know　this；　you　know　this；〃　he　muttered　to　himself。

〃Jake？　Jake；　please；　I'm　exhausted。　I'm　no　good　at　this　right　now。　Maybe　in

the　morning〃

He　took　a　steadying　breath　and　nodded。　〃Maybe　it　will　e　back　to　you。　I

guess　I　understand　why　you

only　remember　the　one　story；〃　he　added　in　a　sarcastic；　bitter　tone。　He　plunked

beside　me。　〃Do　you　mind　if　I　ask　you　a　question　about　that？〃　he　asked；
