I stood on the path waving them off. They were finally gone. Leaving to set up life together in another pack. I chewed the inside of my cheek as I swallowed the lump in my throat.

Jake's hand slipped into mine and it took everything in me not to pull away. We hadn't talked much, not the conversation we needed to have anyway. I felt deflated, part of me wanted to give up. I was sick to death of feeling this way. "Are you okay?". He asked.

"We need to talk Jake".

"I know and I promised we would".

"We should say goodbye to your mom". Everyone had already headed back inside to enjoy the rest of the party.
