i am so glad that alice didnt take bella shopping. and gosh that made me cry.

Aww! I don't have any idea how I missed this, I meant to read it this summer when you started posting it...and then I forgot all about it.

Anyway, this was a wonderful, sweet way to spend my morning. Thank you for this gorgeous story. And since you went lemon free, it realy fits in with the rest of the books. Don't know if that was your intention, but it does work very nicely.

I know this story is ancient history for you, but that chapter was just so ansty good - my toes are tingling. Yum.

I loved that she got to be mad at him. I certainly would have. But of course I would have taken him back too.

oh

I think this should've been the ending to New Moon. I too had a slight anger at how readily they accepted each other again. He left Bella catatonic and she just runs back into his arms and it's pretty much back to normal! I understand that they love each other but seriously, it would never happen like that, not matter how in love they were.
Loved this story!! :)

Well done. Love your prespective on this. Loved the way Edward finally apologized and explained his feelings. Nice story. I really was "Twilighted" by this.

Great fic. I loved your Alice and Charlie. And can I get a "hell yeah" for Bella telling Edward how she felt about his leaving and making decisions for her?

Really terrific kissing scenes. So far the best I've read in the fandom. Moving but not overdone. It's what kisses are supposed to be but so rarely are.

Thanks for posting. I enjoyed it very much. Now I think I'll go check out Spiral Static as you suggested.;)

loved this short story.. i ended the way that was so true to our beloved characters and even though the sex would be hot this ending was much to perfect to taint lol.. thank you this was great!

i totally grabbed for my heart.. that was beautiful.. this story is written with so much emotion is beautiful

Oh it was FABULOUS! That was a pure joy to read. You truly caught the tenor of the character's voices and (snicker) without any of those pesky semicolons! The act of reading your story was just like reading the Twilight series - I simply could not read fast enough, I relished every word, and at the end I literally clasped my hands together and sighed out loud! Bravo, darling!

that was incredible - i cried through 3 of the chapters! loved the ending too :)

This story was delightful. It was exactly what I needed to read to pull me out of the funk another wonderfully written but depressing fanfic put me in.

i love the ending it was really sweet

"And I think you’d be proud of your old man because I only threatened him with my firearm once."

Haha i love Charlie!

"Just ... try to understand what it's like for me, Bella. Try to imagine searching your whole life for someone. I'm sure you've been there, had those moments, but you’re only eighteen. Now multiply that by more than four, and you’ll be closer to the number of years I've been alone. I'm not telling you that to lessen what you feel -- I'm telling you so that you can understand how precious and rare you are. I’ve searched for you for so long, but I had no idea that when I finally found you how much you would come to mean to me. Or what I would be willing to do to keep you safe. I don’t think I really understood love before you. You are literally part of me. I would rip myself apart in a second if it meant saving you. I would rip us apart -- for you.”

THAT, is how that conversation should have gone. Honest to god, Stephenie M should read this and smack herself! Lol. That was perfect.

"You’ll see …" Oh god, i'm such an emotional wreck that i cried at the end. I agree with the no lemons, as much as i love them, i don't think it would have fit.

I loved this story so much! So how New Moon should have gone! I prefered this actualy!

Thankyou for sharing this awesome story, it was beautiful : )
