March 2005: Phoenix, Arizona
Hospitals make Jasper nervous. For all the obvious reasons. But, with a held breath - at least he knows what to expect - and the careful dodging of patients, he finds his way to the right door and softly raps on it. If Alice has helped time this right, Bella's parents are away for dinner, Bella is conked out, yet again, on her medications, and ( Read more... ) -
March 2005: Pheonix, Arizona
[Previously in Forks, it had all started out so simply.]
Jasper hadn't been ready to accept Bella Swan. He's a creature of habit and controlled change and Bella is an anomaly that had been thrust into their (relatively) normal lives. He'd been furious at the parking lot accident, grudgingly accepting of the days that followed, sympathetic of the ( Read more... ) -

He'd kept it again, the tiny scrap of newspaper somehow finding its way into his pocket once more. He knows better than to think the thing is cursed and following him. He knows he put it there, hopeful.

When Jasper quietly closes the door behind him, his heart is heavy with guilt and fear. Not because of his earlier agitation, where he was almost certain he'd have caved or cheated - and he almost did, if Bar had given him what he wanted or he hadn't been distracted - but his eyes are still the same golden brown he left with, however dark they may ( Read more... ) -

April 1948: Michigan
It's the spring of 1948, a couple of months after their fateful meeting in Philadelphia, and they're passing through small town after small town in eastern Michigan on their way west, taking every back country and dirt road they could travel on.
Jasper's at the wheel of their Lincoln-Continental, the night crisp and clear enough for the top to be ( Read more... ) -
March, 2005: Seattle, Washington
Jasper shifts and lowers his textbook a fraction of an inch to look at the cellphone - the ridiculous one that Alice got him with all the latest features and only half of them he knows how to work - that sits on the edge of the bed by his feet. His gaze narrows at helpless thing, willing it to ring. It doesn't ( Read more... ) -
March, 2005: Forks, Washington
"This is ridiculous," Jasper muttered, watching the string of parents and children parade into the gymnasium. All banners, with their bright colors in the dull of the Washington weather, pointed that way for the College Fair.
He closed the passenger door with extra care and turned to Carlisle with a frown. "Is this necessary?" -
