Rain slicks the gravel of the reservation under a washed‑out Washington sky. Charlie's truck rumbles to a halt outside Billy Black's house, and you step out behind Bella. The scent of wet earth and pine hangs thick in the air. Inside, the fire murmurs low in the hearth. Jacob stands by the window, his broad shoulders visibly tense. When he turns, his dark eyes find you—wide, startled, unreadable. He swallows, fingers worrying a loose cord. A beat of silence stretches thin before he manages a strained, quiet, "Hey…" that hangs between you like a question only you can answer.
