“This is your home; Bella;” he said quietly。 
“Yes; but do any doctors live here?” I asked; holding up my hand again。 
“Oh。” He thought about that for a minute。 “I’ll take you to the hospital。 Or Charlie can。” 
“I don’t want to go to the hospital。 It’s embarrassing and unnecessary。” 
He let the Rabbit idle in front of the house; deliberating with an unsure expression。 Charlie’s cruiser was in 
the driveway。 
I sighed。 “Go home; Jacob。” 
I climbed out of the car awkwardly; heading for the house。 The engine cut off behind me; and I was less 
surprised than annoyed to find Jacob beside me again。 
“What are you going to do?” he asked。 

“I am going to get some ice on my hand; and then I am going to call Edward and tell him to e and get 
me and take me to Carlisle so that he can fix my hand。 Then; if you’re still here; I am going to go hunt up a 
crowbar。” 
He didn’t answer。 He opened the front door and held it for me。 
We walked silently past the front room where Charlie was lying on the sofa。 
“Hey; kids;” he said; sitting forward。 “Nice to see you here; Jake。” 
“Hey; Charlie;” Jacob answered casually; pausing。 I stalked on to the kitchen。 
“What’s wrong with her?” Charlie wondered。 
“She thinks she broke her hand;” I heard Jacob tell him。 I went to the freezer and pulled out a tray of ice 
cubes。 
“How did she do that?” As my father; I thought Charlie ought to sound a bit less amused and a bit more 
concerned。 
Jacob laughed。 “She hit me。” 
Charlie laughed; too; and I scowled while I beat the tray against the edge of the sink。 The ice scattered 
inside the basin; and I grabbed a handful with my good hand and wrapped the cubes in the dishcloth on the 
counter。 
“Why did she hit you?” 
“Because I kissed her;” Jacob said; unashamed。 
“Good for you; kid;” Charlie congratulated him。 
I ground my teeth and went for the phone。 I dialed Edward’s cell。 
“Bella?” he answered on the first ring。 He sounded more than relieved — he was delighted。 I could hear 
the Volvo’s engine in the background; he was already in the car — that was good。 “You left the phone 。 。 。 
I’m sorry; did Jacob drive you home?” 
“Yes;” I grumbled。 “Will you e and get me; please?” 
“I’m on my way;” he said at once。 “What’s wrong?” 
“I want Carlisle to look at my hand。 I think it’s broken。” 
It had gone quiet in the front room; and I wondered when Jacob would bolt。 I smiled a grim smile; 
imagining his disfort。 
“What happened?” Edward demanded; his voice going flat。 
“I punched Jacob;” I admitted。 
“Good;” Edward said bleakly。 “Though I’m sorry you’re hurt。” 
I laughed once; because he sounded as pleased as Charlie had。 
“I wish I’d hurt him。” I sighed in frustration。 “I didn’t do any damage at all。” 
“I can fix that;” he offered。 
“I was hoping you would say that。” 
There was a slight pause。 “That doesn’t sound like you;” he said; wary now。 “What did he do?” 
“He kissed me;” I growled。 
All I heard on the other end of the line was the sound of an engine accelerating。 
In the other room; Charlie spoke again。 “Maybe you ought to take off; Jake;” he suggested。 
“I think I’ll hang out here; if you don’t mind。” 
“Your funeral;” Charlie muttered。 
“Is the dog still there?” Edward finally spoke again。 
“Yes。” 
“I’m around the corner;” he said darkly; and the line disconnected。 
As I hung up the phone; smiling; I heard the sound of his car racing down the street。 The brakes protested 
loudly as he slammed to a stop out front。 I went to get the door。 
“How’s your hand?” Charlie asked as I walked by。 Charlie looked unfortable。 Jacob lolled next to 
him on the sofa; perfectly at ease。 
I lifted the ice pack to show it off。 “It’s swelling。” 
“Maybe you should pick on people your own size;” Charlie suggested。 
“Maybe;” I agreed。 I walked on to open the door。 Edward was waiting。 
“Let me see;” he murmured。 

He examined my hand gently; so carefully that it caused me no pain at all。 His hands were almost as cold 
as the ice; and they felt good against my skin。 
“I think you’re right about the break;” he said。 “I’m proud of you。 You must have put some force behind 
this。” 
“As much as I have。” I sighed。 “Not enough; apparently。” 
He kissed my hand softly。 “I’ll take care of it;” he promised。 And then he called; “Jacob;” his voice still 
quiet and even。 
“Now; now;” Charlie cautioned。 
I heard Charlie heave himself off of the sofa。 Jacob got to the hall first; and much more quietly; but Charlie 
was not far behind him。 Jacob’s expression was alert and eager。 
“I don’t want any fighting; do you understand?” Charlie looked only at Edward when he spoke。 “I can go 
put my badge on if that makes my request more official。” 
“That won’t be necessary;” Edward said in a restrained tone。 
“Why don’t you arrest me; Dad?” I suggested。 “I’m the one throwing punches。” 
Charlie raised an eyebrow。 “Do you want to press charges; Jake?” 
“No。” Jacob grinned; incorrigible。 “I’ll take the trade any day。” 
Edward grimaced。 
“Dad; don’t you have a baseball bat somewhere in your room? I want to borrow it for a minute。” 
Charlie looked at me evenly。 “Enough; Bella。” 
“Let’s go have Carlisle look at your hand before you wind up in a jail cell;” Edward said。 He put his arm 
around me and pulled me toward the door。 
“Fine;” I said; leaning against him。 I wasn’t so angry anymore; now that Edward was with me。 I felt 
forted; and my hand didn’t bother me as much。 
We were walking down the sidewalk when I heard Charlie whispering anxiously behind me。 
“What are you doing? Are you crazy?” 
“Give me a minute; Charlie;” Jacob answered。 “Don’t worry; I’ll be right back。” 
I looked back and Jacob was following us; stopping to close the door in Charlie’s surprised and uneasy 
face。 
Edward ignored him at first; leading me to the car。 He helped me inside; shut the door; and then turned to 
face Jacob on the sidewalk。 
I leaned anxiously through the open window。 Charlie was visible in the house; peeking through the drapes 
in the front room。 
Jacob’
