“Get　your　hand　off　of　me；”　he　growled　through　his　teeth。　
“Keep　your　hands　off　of　her；”　Edward　answered　blackly。　
“Ddddon’t　fffffight；”　I　pleaded。　Another　tremor　rocked　through　me。　It　felt　like　my　teeth　were　going　
to　shatter；　they　were　slamming　together　so　hard。　
“I’m　sure　she’ll　thank　you　for　this　when　her　toes　turn　black　and　drop　off；”　Jacob　snapped。　
Edward　hesitated；　then　his　hand　fell　away　and　he　slid　back　to　his　position　in　the　corner。　
His　voice　was　flat　and　frightening。　“Watch　yourself。”　
Jacob　chuckled。　
“Scoot　over；　Bella；”　he　said；　zipping　the　sleeping　bag　open　farther。　
I　stared　at　him　in　outrage。　No　wonder　Edward　was　reacting　this　way。　
“Nnnnn；”　I　tried　to　protest。　
“Don’t　be　stupid；”　he　said；　exasperated。　“Don’t　you　like　having　ten　toes？”　
He　crammed　his　body　into　the　nonexistent　space；　forcing　the　zipper　up　behind　himself。　
And　then　I　couldn’t　object　—　I　didn’t　want　to　anymore。　He　was　so　warm。　His　arms　constricted　around　
me；　holding　me　snugly　against　his　bare　chest。　The　heat　was　irresistible；　like　air　after　being　underwater　for　too　
long。　He　cringed　when　I　pressed　my　icy　fingers　eagerly　against　his　skin。　
“Jeez；　you’re　freezing；　Bella；”　he　plained。　
“Sssssorry；”　I　stuttered。　
“Try　to　relax；”　he　suggested　as　another　shiver　rippled　through　me　violently。　“You’ll　be　warm　in　a　minute。　
Of　course；　you’d　warm　up　faster　if　you　took　your　clothes　off。”　
Edward　growled　sharply。　
“That’s　just　a　simple　fact；”　Jacob　defended　himself。　“Survival　oneohone。”　
“Cccut　it　out；　Jake；”　I　said　angrily；　though　my　body　refused　to　even　try　to　pull　away　from　him。　“Nnn　
nobody　really　nnnnneeds　all　ten　ttttoes。”　
“Don’t　worry　about　the　bloodsucker；”　Jacob　suggested；　and　his　tone　was　smug。　“He’s　just　jealous。”　
“Of　course　I　am。”　Edward’s　voice　was　velvet　again；　under　control；　a　musical　murmur　in　the　darkness。　
“You　don’t　have　the　faintest　idea　how　much　I　wish　I　could　do　what　you’re　doing　for　her；　mongrel。”　
“Those　are　the　breaks；”　Jacob　said　lightly；　but　then　his　tone　soured。　“At　least　you　know　she　wishes　it　was　
you。”　
“True；”　Edward　agreed。　
The　shuddering　slowed；　became　bearable　while　they　wrangled。　
“There；”　Jacob　said；　pleased。　“Feeling　better？”　
I　was　finally　able　to　speak　clearly。　“Yes。”　
“Your　lips　are　still　blue；”　he　mused。　“Want　me　to　warm　those　up　for　you；　too？　You　only　have　to　ask。”　
Edward　sighed　heavily。　
“Behave　yourself；”　I　muttered；　pressing　my　face　against　his　shoulder。　He　flinched　again　when　my　cold　skin　
touched　his；　and　I　smiled　with　slightly　vindictive　satisfaction。　
It　was　already　warm　and　snug　inside　the　sleeping　bag。　Jacob’s　body　heat　seemed　to　radiate　from　every　
side　—　maybe　because　there　was　so　much　of　him。　I　kicked　my　boots　off；　and　pushed　my　toes　against　his　
legs。　He　jumped　slightly；　and　then　leaned　his　head　down　to　press　his　hot　cheek　against　my　numb　ear。　
I　noticed　that　Jacob’s　skin　had　a　woodsy；　musky　scent　—　it　fit　the　setting；　here　in　the　middle　of　the　forest。　

It　was　nice。　I　wondered　if　the　Cullens　and　the　Quileutes　weren’t　just　playing　up　that　whole　odor　issue　because　
of　their　prejudices。　Everyone　smelled　fine　to　me。　
The　storm　howled　like　an　animal　attacking　the　tent；　but　it　didn’t　worry　me　now。　Jacob　was　out　of　the　cold；　
and　so　was　I。　Plus；　I　was　simply　too　exhausted　to　worry　about　anything　—　tired　from　just　staying　awake　so　
late；　and　aching　from　the　muscle　spasms。　My　body　relaxed　slowly　as　I　thawed；　piece　by　frozen　piece；　and　
then　turned　limp。　
“Jake？”　I　mumbled　sleepily。　“Can　I　ask　you　something？　I’m　not　trying　to　be　a　jerk　or　anything；　I’m　
honestly　curious。”　They　were　the　same　words　he’d　used　in　my　kitchen　。　。　。　how　long　ago　was　it　now？　
“Sure；”　he　chuckled；　remembering。　
“Why　are　you　so　much　furrier　than　your　friends？　You　don’t　have　to　answer　if　I’m　being　rude。”　I　didn’t　
know　the　rules　for　etiquette　as　they　applied　to　werewolf　culture。　
“Because　my　hair　is　longer；”　he　said；　amused　—　my　question　hadn’t　offended　him；　at　least。　He　shook　his　
head　so　that　his　unkempt　hair　—　grown　out　to　his　chin　now　—　tickled　my　cheek。　
“Oh。”　I　was　surprised；　but　it　made　sense。　So　that　was　why　they’d　all　cropped　their　hair　in　the　beginning；　
when　they　joined　the　pack。　“Then　why　don’t　you　cut　it？　Do　you　like　to　be　shaggy？”　
He　didn’t　answer　right　away　this　time；　and　Edward　laughed　under　his　breath。　
“Sorry；”　I　said；　pausing　to　yawn。　“I　didn’t　mean　to　pry。　You　don’t　have　to　tell　me。”　
Jacob　made　an　annoyed　sound。　“Oh；　he’ll　tell　you　anyway；　so　I　might　as　well。　。　。　。　I　was　growing　my　hair　
out　because　。　。　。　it　seemed　like　you　liked　it　better　long。”　
“Oh。”　I　felt　awkward。　“I；　er；　like　it　both　ways；　Jake。　You　don’t　need　to　be　。　。　。　inconvenienced。”　
He　shrugged。　“Turns　out　it　was　very　convenient　tonight；　so　don’t　worry　about　it。”　
I　didn’t　have　anything　else　to　say。　As　the　silence　lengthened；　my　eyelids　drooped　and　shut；　and　my　
breathing　grew　slower；　more　even。　
“That’s　right；　honey；　go　to　sleep；”　Jacob　whispered。　
I　sighed；　content；　already　halfunconscious。　
“Seth　is　here；”　Edward　muttered　to　Jacob；　and　I　suddenly　understood　the　point　of　the　howling。　
“Perfect。　Now　you　can　keep　an　eye　on　everything　else；　while　I　take　care　of　your　girlfriend　for　you。”　
Edward　didn’t　answer；　but　I　groaned　groggily。　“Stop　it；”　I　muttered。　
It　was　quiet　then；　inside　at　least。　Outside；　the　wind　shrieked　insanely　through　the　trees。　The　shimmying　of　
the　tent　made　it　hard　to　sleep。　The　poles　would　suddenly　jerk　and　quiver；　pulling　me　back　from　the　edge　of　
unconsciousness　each　time　I　was　close　to　slipping　under。　I　felt　so　bad　for　the　wolf；　the　boy　that　was　stuck　
outside　in　the　snow。　
My　mind　wandered　as　I　waited　for　sleep　to　find　me。　This　warm　little　space　made　me　think　of　the　early　
days　with　Jacob；　and　I　remembered　how　it　used　to　be　when　he　was　my　replacement　sun；　the　warmth　that　
made　my　empty　life　livable。　It　had　been　a　while　since　I’d　thought　of　Jake　that　way；　but　here　he　was；　warming　
me　again。　
“Please！”　Edward　hissed。　“Do　you　mind！”　
“What？”　Jacob　whispered　back；　his　tone　surprised。　
“Do　you　think　you　could　attempt　to　control　your　thoughts？”　Edward’s　low　whisper　was　furious。　
“No　one　said　you　had　to　listen；”　Jacob　muttered；　defiant；　yet　still　embarrassed。　“Get　out　of　my　head。”　
“I　wish　I　could。　You　have　no　idea　how　loud　your　little　fantasies　are。　It’s　like　you’re　shouting　them　at　me。”　
“I’ll　try　to　keep　it　down；”　Jacob　whispered　sarcastically。　
There　was　a　brief　moment　of　silence。　
“Yes；”　Edward　answered　an　unspoken　thought　in　a　murmur　so　low　I　barely　made　it　out。　“I’m　jealous　of　
that；　too。”　
“I　figured　it　was　like　that；”　Jacob　whispered　smugly。　“Sort　of　evens　the　playing　field　up　a　little；　doesn’t　it？”　
Edward　chuckled。　“In　your　dreams。”　
“You　know；　she　could　still　change　her　mind；”　Jacob　taunted　him。　“Considering　all　the　things　I　could　do　
with　her　that　you　can’t。　At　least；　not　without　killing　her；　that　is。”　
“Go　to　sleep；　Jacob；”　Edward　murmured。　“You’re　starting　to　get　on　my　nerves。”　
“I　think　I　will。　I’m　really　very　fortable。”　
Edward　didn’t　answer。　

I　was　too　far　gone　to　ask　them　to　stop　talking　about　me　like　I　wasn’t　there。　The　conversation　had　taken　on　
a　dreamlike　quality　to　me；　and　I　wasn’t　sure　I　was　really　awake。　
“Maybe　I　would；”　Edward　said　after　a　moment；　answering　a　question　I　hadn’t　heard。　
“But　would　you　be　honest？”　
“You　can　always　ask　and　see。”　Edward’s　tone　made　me　wonder　if　I　was　missing　out　on　a　joke。　
“Well；　you　see　inside　my　head　—　let　me　see　inside　yours　tonight；　it’s　only　fair；”　Jacob　said。　
“Your　head　is　full　of　questions。　Which　one　do　you　want　me　to　answer？”　
“The　jealousy　。　。　。　it　has　to　be　eating　at　you。　You　can’t　be　as　sure　of　yourself　as　you　seem。　Unless　you　
have　no　emotions　at　all。”　
“Of　course　it　is；”　Edward　agreed；　no　longer　amused。　“Right　now　it’s　so　bad　that　I　can　barely　control　my　
voice。　Of　course；　it’s　even　worse　when　she’s　away　from　me；　with　you；　and　I　can’t　see　her。”　
“Do　you　think　about　it　all　the　time？”　Jacob　whispered。　“Does　it　make　it　hard　to　concentrat
