He was distracted watching Elise with Lily for a second, but when Elise turned the topic back and focused the question on him, Jesse made eye contact. He looked relieved when Elise said she didn't mention him. “That's good.” But if Shanna was in town, and she stayed, it was only a matter of time before she figured it out. A moment later, Jesse nodded. “Okay.” he said.
“If she finds out about you and me, she's probably going to hate you. No matter what you do or how you act,” Jesse said. “If she does, don't take it personally, okay? It's not a reflection on you. She pretty much hates any girl that gets within six feet of me. And a couple days after I escaped from vampire jail, she wanted me to turn her into a vampire, and I said no. So if she finds out I turned you in Seattle right after I wouldn't turn her, she's going to be really mad.”
