He went down to the basement of the banquet hall, searching for a bathroom. Instead he found Leah, sobbing on the staircase in her bridesmaids dress.
She turned around, hastily wiped away her tears and glared. “Get the fuck-” The words caught in her chest, she found herself weeping again. She stopped to laugh, only she sobbed instead. “I’m going soft, aren’t I?” she muttered, choking back her tears.
He didn’t say anything (what was there to say, anyway?) just sat by her side, quietly. She leaned into him and pretended not to cry (he wasn’t convinced, it didn’t matter.)

He stormed out of the door, slammed it shut behind him. She stalled, then remembered the best thing she had going for her was walking out that door. She went after him. “Jacob,” she called. “Jacob!”
“What?” he barked. His icy glare froze her feet to the ground. They stood, her wordlessly, and him waiting not-so-patiently.
After an eternity, she stammered, “I know...” She dropped her gaze. “I know I’m hard to be with,” she said, under her breath.
Jacob sighed, uncrossed his arms and shook his head. “It’s... It’s fine.” He smirked, “I always liked a challenge.”

One night, there was a power outage on the res. Leah complained, something about her favorite TV show or whatever. Jacob laughed and she scowled, of course. He said, “I’ll show you something better than TV.”
They laid on her roof, where he showed her the sky.
He pointed to the heavens, tracing imaginary lines with his fingertips. “Scorpio,” he said, connecting a group of stars together. “That’s you, isn’t it?” She curled into him, wordlessly. He could feel her smile against his bare chest. He smiled, too, and hugged her closer.
He’d never felt so infinite in his life.

The shoebox had “FRAGILE!” written all over it. Jacob opened the box, unveiled a tissue-wrapped ornament. A silver heart, glistening under the tree lights. Faded black writing caught his eye: “Sam & Leah” . It fell, shattering into a hundred tiny pieces.
Leah turned to Jacob. She looked down at the silver mess in front of him.
“I’m sorry,” he muttered. She laughed, sweeping the broken pieces into her hands.
“It’s fine,” she said, heading toward the garbage can. “I have a replacement.”
Jacob stared. Out of her pocket, she pulled a figurine of two wolves, one gray, the other russet.

Jacob woke to the sound of Leah whimpering. He looked around, the moon hung high in the sky. “Leah,” he whispered. Her brow furrowed, even in sleep. He wrapped his hand around hers, squeezing it tightly. “Leah.”
Her eyes fluttered open. She searched his face frantically, then breathed a sigh of relief.
“What’s wrong?”
She glared at him, accusingly. “Don’t you ever leave me, or I swear, I- I-” she shook her head, fighting tears that betrayed her.
Jacob caressed her hand, leaned in and kissed her gently. “It was just a nightmare. I couldn’t leave you if I tried.”

The first day of spring had been weeks ago, but today the snow was just beginning to thaw.
Jacob peered outside his curtains, noted the newly formed puddles on his sidewalk. Then there she was, trudging toward his house, head held low. He got up from the couch and met her at the door before she could even knock. They caught eyes and his heart soared. She wore the look of the hopelessly defeated.
“All right,” she said. “I give up. You win.” She shrugged and looked at him in earnest. “I love you.”
Jacob smiled and let her in.
