" The internal conflict kept Jonah paralyzed in place. That is, until
Pup walked over to him and rested his head on Jonah’s lap. Amber eyes
looked up at him with the same loving, devoted gaze that had met him
earlier that morning, except this time those eyes were in a different
face. Everything that had been holding Jonah back was dismissed with
that recognition.
This was his Zev, the man who meant everything to him. Okay,
so what he’d just witnessed with his own eyes didn’t make sense, but,
hey, neither did physics at the beginning of the semester freshman year,
and by the end, Jonah had earned an A. So he’d just need to learn about
this in the same way, ask questions, study… whatever there was to
study. Jonah was a good student; learning had never been an issue for
him. Jonah took in a deep breath. Yes, this was all about learning
something new. It’d be fine. "
