"If Matt was expecting some sort of staring contest, he would be in for a crushing loss" made me laugh out loud lol!

I'm loving this so far! Hoping Carlisle is close to realising his feelings for Bella

So, I finished it—again. Read it in its entirety.
It’s always an accident when I read this one. I go into it not realizing I’ve already read it before. I randomly get the itch to read Twilight fanfiction, and naturally, I gravitate towards Carlisle x Bella. I sort by most reviews, and this one is always at the top.
Every time, without fail, I feel all the emotions. I reconnect with the brilliantly crafted OC human characters (I absolutely loved Ramesh), and I fall in love with Carlisle all over again. The slow burn is masterfully done, with Bella not even realizing her feelings until she’s matured and grown at her own pace. The fact that she’s in her 20s by the time they get together makes it feel so much more earned.
The writing is beautiful, and the pacing is perfect. This story is everything I didn’t know I needed, and it stays with me long after I’ve finished it—every single time.

(R/v on ch 38 because I can’t review the same ch twice)

Charlie getting out the Motorola phone at the end is genuinely heartbreaking

Oooo wait does this mean she becomes a wolf!?

Gah just finished One Weekend! And so excited to read this one!

im currently reading this on kindle and when alice's vision came up i started bawling my eyes out and opened my laptop to write this comment. HELLO?! U ARE MAKING SOMEONE CRY OUT OF HAPPINESS IN THE YEAR OF 2024.

I love this story. I read Moonlit December many years ago and only just found this one. Carlisle/Bella is my favorite Twilight pairing and I'm glad to find more of your writing about them.

The slow burn is killing me omg

You write in such a beautiful way

I miss Emmett!

Making Esme gay is funny asf, I missing Emmett tho

HECK YEAHHHH

I cannot stop reading this! Thank you so much for writing it! I figured I would leave a review before savoring the rest of the beautiful, beautiful chapters!

I really wanted to like this but it just spends far too much time up on a 'soapbox! '

I hate to sound critical, but this is becoming Iess of a story and more of a philosophical debate! Not quite my idea of 'light reading.' I hope we get back to the story now.
