I hope Bella asks the questions.

What in the world is she thinking? Sue has no business telling her to stay away from the Cullens just so she can be lonely. Edward loves her. Hopefully she will come to this conclusion.

Okay, we are here, on pins & needles looking forward to your new chapter. I can not imagine what happens next because you've really surprised me with this familiar yet totally new angle in the TW story. i.e. Wolves imprinting on non-natives?! I worry that Bella will become a hybrid. Hmm?

Yay for us! I've been re-reading and left some more reviews of the earlier chapters. I do hope Bella is able to transform before meeting the Volturi. Let the games begin!

Parting is such sweet sorrow, right?

Intense chapter. Edward's decision to leave Forks after meeting a teen Bella changed her history completely. Heartbreaking, really, to see how her living a human life lead only to sadness & depression for Bella. Their love is a living thing. You've written it so well.

Thank you so much for this update! I admit, I saved it for awhile. I usually reread most, if not all of the preceding chapters when you post, and I wasn't in the right headspace when this was first posted. But as long as you'll keep posting, I'll always be excited to get another chapter.

Good chapter, although I admit to greedily always wanting more. There are a few chapters that I've read so many times. You understand grief and loss. I can't even count how many times I've talked to people about the birthday cake and your line, death walks everyday with that mother. Usually when explaining that there's no such thing as 'bringing it all back'. (Where do they think my child's death goes?) Honestly!

Just, thank you. Knowing that there are people who understand is one of the things that helps. As it turns out, twific is another. And you have both combined here. Plus there are places where your words are so lovely. So thanks again for the gift of them. I send, as well, warm wishes that you find a bit of joy in every day. (Even if found in chocolate sometimes.)

Wonderful and well written, just incredible!

So worth the wait! I put off reading it as long as I could so I could truly savor it. This was beautiful. Real. Deep. Human.

Well, that's knock your socks off stuff. Makes one wonder how many of the tribe marry outlanders or even how many moved across country, etc. Guess that's neither here nor there as this is Bella's life we are examining. LOL

This blows my mine. I cry with her.

Geez, I'm one of those - Team Edward - & this marriage with Jacob is... depressing & the baby... so sad. Still, if I were Bella I would have peed my pants & fainted dead away, truly, if a giant wolf had nuzzled me!

You describe so well - all. Her grief is an new character. I believe I read this long ago but since you may finish, I'm back on board. You have the chops to write a novel, do it.

Bella will figure this out. Loved the chapter.

This story is so beautifully written. I’m glad to see you’ve picked it up again. I hope you mean to finish it.
