Being truthful about it all, Emmett did find out for certain who it was once he was HERE. DIdn't deal well with that knowledge either but that was....a bit ago now. Last winter. Blames himself for not insisting on sticking around. And Jacob's...maybe it stunted something, aye.
And no its true. That's the thing. If he can't do it, I can't see Basch hurt for that. And of course I'm willing.
Never thought I'd have been grateful for it then. Da was...he'd no idea I existed but even so, it wasn't a complete STRANGER.
