I wasn't in that healthier place where Leah was headed.
I wasn't going to be able to fall in love like a normal person.
Not when I was bleeding over someone else.
Maybe – if it was ten years from now and Bella's heart
was long dead and I'd hauled myself through the whole
grieving process and come out in one piece again
– maybe then I could offer Lizzie a ride in a fast
car and talk makes and models and get to know something
about her and see if I liked her as a person.
But that wasn't going to happen now. Magic wasn't going to save me.
I was just going to have to take the torture like a man.
Suck it up.
- Jacob Black (Chapter 17, p.334)
