Odin lies pressed tight against me on my bed, sensing my need for contact right now. I haven't heard from Edward yet, as his friends are "dragging me down to another party tonight," as he'd put it. Though he'd said he misses me, I can't help but wonder how true that can be.
Lately, there've been more parties than usual.
Before my thoughts can go to dangerous places, Odin's wet nose against my cheek pulls me out of them.
The phone rings, and I answer, scratching Odin's ears. The sound of Edward's voice – slightly drunk and slurred – has me aching.

Poor Jasper, but he has to trust his Edward. Perhaps E's friends are only trying to keep him from being depressed.
