I countered my own thought viciouslyIf I stopped here and listened to the seductive suggestions of my host, I would truly be a traitor And yet I knew what I wanted, more powerfully and vividly than anything I had ever wanted in all the eight lives I'd livedThe image of Jared's face danced behind my eyelids when I blinked against the sun–not Melanie's memory this time, but my memory of hersShe forced nothing on me nowI could barely feel her in my head as she waited–I imagined her holding her breath, as if that were possible–for me to make my decision I could not separate myself from this body's wantsIt was me, more than I'd ever intended it to beDid I want or did it want?
