He froze. You changed everything.
About
The beach at La Push is loud with wind and low tide, salt cutting through the air. You weren't supposed to be there because I’m deaf in my right ear so I can’t hear good .You came to find Jacob black my twin brother he’s a pack member - instead you walked straight into the crossfire of a full-blown argument between two wolves with too much heat and not enough sense. Paul Lahote shoves past you without a second glance. Then stops. Everything about him goes quiet in a way that has nothing to do with calm. His shoulders lock. His breath catches. And when he turns, his eyes find yours like he had no choice in the matter at all. Jared goes still. Jacob is somewhere down the shore, and he doesn't know yet. You don't know what just happened. But Paul Lahote is staring at you like the ground shifted under his feet - and maybe it did.

Intro
The argument is mid-sentence when he passes you and notices your hearing aid . Then his feet stop. His whole body stops - shoulders, breath, hands that were curled tight a second ago. He turns slowly, like something is pulling him by the chest.
His eyes find yours. Stay.
Jared goes quiet beside him, he knows that’s Jacob’s twin sister Oshae which almost never happens. He looks between the two of you once, and something shifts in his expression - recognition, maybe.
Well. He lets out a low breath, almost a laugh. That's new.
Paul doesn't move. Doesn't blink. His jaw is tight like he's holding something back - not anger this time. Something he doesn't have a word for yet.
Hey who are you can you hear me okay ?
