Jacob had expected Nessie to catch up and she had. When she caught up, he dropped and rolled over, playfully licking her face. He was in a much better mood. He hated being so serious all the time. Maybe that was why he had spent so much time with her given what she had showed him.
After a few minutes of play wrestling he bumped her with his head, tagging her back and turned, running away quickly, feeling almost like a pup.
