Ella POV
As we head back to the cottage, I think about how much I have enjoyed spending time with Jacob. The mate pull is strong but it feels different. The bond leads us to each other but we choose whether or not to accept the bond. I have true feelings for him. The last few weeks have made me realize that I want to be with Jacob. It has gotten easier for me to accept that Jacob is committed to me. He has shown me over and over that he cares for me and that he will be faithful. I think it's time I show him that I am as committed to this bond as he is. He parks the car and comes around to open my door. He offers me his hand and helps me out of the car. He doesn't let go of my hand as we walk up the stairs of the cottage. When we reach the door, Jacob reaches for the handle but I stop him.
