Super sweet ending. Another great tale from you. Thank you!

Awwwww

Ummm, how could she have not realized that yet? Thought she would have fallen for him during their time together. Gah!

You know, that really made sense to me. If she didn't try, she may resent him later for it. She may disagree right now, but she will realize how important this San Diego trip is. And, that is all it is, a trip, because we just know she will come back to him.

So very glad she is bringing Alice into whatever plans she has. Very glad. I like the way this is going.

Awwww, she fit right in, just like we knew she would ;)

I personally think that she and James did not love each other at all, that it was just convenience. Both of them to have that person if they needed them for a work thing. Or, like she mentioned in James' case, the prestige of it. What a horrible relationship. I would jump right in with Edward as well. It would not be weird to me at all since there was no love in the other relationship. From what it seemed, they barely saw each other and when they did, it was cold.

I just know I am right about what James did . . . especially, if Edward says he saw her alone right after and how he himself would never leave her alone if she was his . . . and now with how down she is . . . ARGH! Makes me want to hurt James, and I'm not even sure I am right yet! LOL

James knew all about this merger all along didn't he . . . that is why James knew Rose beforehand . . . that is why they were so chummy . . . and that is why he showed up, unannounced . . . because this will be GREAT for him . . . not a care in the world as to what this does to Bella and her profession . . . am I close? What an ass if that was the case . . . ugh.

She checked for a ring on his hand . . . LOVE it . . .

Well that did not help me . . . and I miscounted . . . there are actually twelve left after this one . . . still too little time in drabble world . . .

I actually had to go back and check if this was "complete" . . . and sure enough it is. What can happen in eleven drabbles that will break BxJ up and get BxE together? So confused on how you will do that. I'll find out . . .

Well, dagnabbit . . . I thought this was going to be easier . . . bump, spill, meet, run away together. Nice wrench you threw in there with James showing up. I don't like Bella and James' relationship, but you did intend it that way by the way you wrote it. Nicely done. Onwards . . .

Intrigued . . .

Three words: Dump. His. Ass.
