Hey Gang!
Jacob is enjoying his stay at the reservation.
She walks over to him, sitting on the bench.
Loraine: Hey, enjoying the day?
Jacob: Yeah, it is really lovely here. I can see why you love it here.
Loraine: I really do!
Jacob: And Edward... he treats you well?
Loraine: He loves me! He says so all the time, and I feel it!
Jacob: And children?
Loraine: I'm hopeful, and I'm building a family. Fawn was 3 days old when we got her. America was about my age when I found you. Two Feathers and Dancing Brook came just last month. We are still looking for their older sister and aunt.
Are you thinking about staying? I hope you will stay!
Jacob: What would I do here?
Loraine: Whatever you want. What do you like to do? You have a well of talents!
Jacob thinks his sister has always believed in him, even when he didn't believe in himself.
He realized how much he missed her and her support.
Jacob: I want to do something outdoors. I'm not a desk jockey.
Loraine: I know that about you! When would you like to leave to collect your belongings?
Jacob: I don't have many things. Most of my stuff is packed. I'm not accustomed to being around so many people all the time, as is the case here. I might sleep in my tent.
Loraine laughs. You still have that old tent?
He tries to stop her from laughing,
Jacob: No, I bought a new one for when we would take groups and camp outdoors.

I don't think there is! I'll ask Edward. He knows everyone. He would know if someone is doing it.
Are you going to try to stay? He would know who you need to talk to. Being the Chief, he has connections!
Jacob: OK! I'll give it a try. His sister hugs him. He didn't realize until then how important his
presence was to her. I guess my sister needs me.
