What am I thinking? Hmm...
First of all... Yay, and holy shyteballs,
she updated my absolute favorite
story. No lie! Welcome back, lady!

Second... James has GOT to die! HIS way,
Slowly and painfully!

Third?... Stay AWAY from the light, Isabella!

Uh-oh...

Her internal struggle with acceptance of unconditional love has never left. I'm wondering if it ever will? Abandonment plays a heavy roll in her mixed up mind.

I noticed your last up date was several months ago. Is there no set schedule for this story?
I hope your not suffering from writers block since you mentioned being so closed to the end. I excitedly await your concluding chapters!

I'm finally catching up to the rest of your fan base.
Something is going to happen before Izzy will make her own decision to stay in a forever kind of love with Edward. She has already made up her mind but the thought of confessing her part in this misunderstanding is holding her back.
Ricky is a true friend. The kind it takes a lifetime to find.

Will Jack become a pawn in James' twisted game?
Physical gratification will always be part of their struggle; but Edward was correct in pulling himself from the intense reunion until resolution was achieved.
I was hoping she wouldn't visit Jack but that's still on the schedule.
What about her schooling and graduation?

Wounded hearts and souls attract each other, looking for various forms of support. I hope Izzy's dreams lead her to understand the extent of what Jacob and Paul are trying to explain when it comes to the true meaning of being mated.
I think some insight from Angela might be necessary.
I get this feeling that Izzy will be returning to her father's house for a while.
Is that when James decides to make his final attack?

There is so much going on in this chapter or story that I forget I've already read the answer to the questions I want to ask. But you manage to reference back to the situation in question pulling it all together again.

Izzy's bitch-slap of Tanya wasn't enough!
Now even Alice will be unable to keep an eye in Izzy while she stays on the Res.

Will Edward leave the area? Will he seek out the Volturi?

So it had to be Tanya that drop the bomb of Edward being a virgin as well as being mated. Why didn't Alice see this?
Will Izzy at some point remember Edward has always left the decision up to her to walk away from him if she felt it was necessary. He will always love her but never hold her against her will.

Edward needs to unload the burden he's been carrying about this mating phenomenon. No one in the family has slipped up but the time has come to reveal how vampires respect their mates with full disclosure.
Will Rose and Izzy grow closer as sisters while on the island together?

Edward's mind reading abilities are better than any tutorial for virgins. Haha! No wonder she couldn't tell this was his first time.
After reading this outtake, I realize Edward was already exhibiting dominant traits. Jack must have picked up on the signals as well.
Wondering how Izzy will respond to Edward's confessions?

I think I'm liking both perspectives; even though it slows the story down a bit by overlapping events.
Tanya's appearance me seem to be hindrance at this time but I think Edward has made a wrong choice in denying the truth to his mate.
How did Izzy keep Edward away from her yet Carlisle was able to touch her from the side and the back? Will Carlisle continue to research this?

Is James aware of Alice and Edward's gifts? It would seem that he is using their presence to mask his movements.

Still chuckling at the banter between inner banshee and Izzy all the while Edward is privy to their heated conversation.
So much going on in their heads.

Finally Izzy is able to reverse the table and see herself in Edward's shoes. Her love for him is nearly unconditional. I say nearly because she now has a goal to achieve before becoming Edward's mate for eternity.
Riley needed to be dismantled!

Chapter 2 of Jack's playroom was so much more than what I expected.

Paul and Izzy's reunion was essential for both to say the things necessary to continue some sort of a friendship. I respect Paul's thoughts on not using Leah as a rebound. I hope they both find imprints.

Did I get the impression that old insecurities were trying to resurface when Edward told Izzy he wants to change her?
