“No,” I said without even having to think. I looked up to meet his eyes. “It's the last thing I want.”
“I don’t want it to, either,” he assured me. “I don’t want to lose you, that’s for sure.”
For a moment I marveled at that. At the way he’d said, ‘don’t want to lose you.’ The words were like the first crack of sun through heavy clouds. Jacob had done it again.
“I don’t want to lose you either,” I said, hope that didn't feel foolish building in my chest for the first time.
