What is love?

"They say love is blind. I disagree. Infatuation is blind, love is all-seeing and accepting. Love is seeing all the flaws and the blemishes and accepting them. Love is accepting the bad habits and mannerisms, and working around them. Love is recognizing all the fears and insecurities, and knowing your role is to comfort. Love is working through all the challenges and painful times. Infatuation is fragile and will shatter when life is not perfect. Love is strong and it strengthens because it is real."

Crystal Taylor, the new resident of La Push, Washington, was instantly entranced by the abundant nature there. Meeting a strong, yet seemingly kind boy on the mountains one day was just a bonus. Upon meeting, Jacob's infatuation for Bella begins to fade but it can never seem to die entirely. The couple has a bumpy road to achieving everlasting love, but all love takes time. For Jacob, time to mature and discover what it is you really want and how hard you're willing to fight for it. For Crystal, time to overcome insecurities and put trust in the one who means the world to you.

Love is strong. Love is work. Love is acceptance. Love is finding the one you're supposed to be with and holding on in the midst of it all.
