Quil tossed his remaining pizza crust into the mostly empty box, groaning as he laid back with his hands on his stomach. The other three boys were in similar positions, their hands on their stomachs, eyes closed in the blissful aftermath of their pizza dinner.

Sophie could only huff at them amusedly, her own arms folded in front of her. She had managed to eat most of her own slice, trying to focus on the fun conversations her friends were having instead of what she was eating.

The group of friends were gathered in Sophie's bedroom, sitting around on her floor. Beside the pizza box was a collection of movies the group had gone through before their food arrived, though none of them were interested in the films she had provided.

Jacob peeked an eye open and turned his head towards Sophie, who smiled down at her friend. "You okay?"

"I'm okay." She nodded, squeezing her fingers together a few times before she reached forward to grab the trash in her room. "I'm gonna throw this away and then I'll bring up some more movies to pick from."

He nodded back at her before closing his eyes again and Sophie laughed at the boy as she stood up. She jogged down the stairs and into the kitchen before shoving the trash into the trash can. Sophie stared down at it for a few moments, her mind threatening to mock her with dark thoughts.

After another long moment, she closed the lid and turned away from it, determined to not think of her illness for one night. Her blue eyes strayed towards the windows above the sink and she smiled. The sky was a spectrum of different colors as the sun went down - pinks, and oranges, and yellows, and blues streaked across the horizon and she felt the need to capture the moment on paper.

From where she stood, she could hear the boys beginning to move around in her room and figured she should probably go and find more movies. It was just her and the boys tonight in the house since Bella was at Edward's side and Charlie was, as always, preoccupied with work.

As she made her way into the living room, a knock sounded against her front door and she paused. Sophie hated when people knocked on her door, since most people she and her father knew were allowed to come straight in.

Footsteps sounded on the stairs behind her and Jacob appeared at her side. She glanced at him for a moment before moving to open her front door, stopping in her tracks when she saw who it was.

Marcus stood before her, his hands in the pockets of his black slacks, shoulders leaning casually against the side of the house. His crimson eyes landed on her first, before jumping back to Jacob. The expression on his pale skin changed minutely when he saw the werewolf but he masked it well as he looked back to his mate. "Sophie. It's good to finally see you."
