Really struggled with this story as Bella comes across as really immature and childish. Right from the beginning where she set out to have a one night stand, then freaked out about it afterwards. She’s so dramatic too, texting friends that she needs them to come over immediately and then turning her phone off, then when they arrive she isn’t ready to talk about it…?! They don’t communicate at all, you’d think after one divorce Edward would have learnt but I really can’t see their relationship lasting to the prologue. You’re a great writer, I just really didn’t like the characters

I love Art imitating real life. Was it easier to write because it was what you knew or harder because you had to integrate it with Edward and Bella? I want to attempt writing once this degree is completed. I would love to hear your thoughts.

I really enjoyed reading this story. Thank you very much for writing and sharing.

Cute story. Very well written.

Very sweet ending. I'm very glad to know that Kate and Bella get along for Emily's sake. Sounds like Edward needs to have THE talk with Emily. Thirteen sounds too young but, it does happen. Really it does. Hopefully she waits. This was a cute story. Your story. It was nice.

That message she left her parents, was priceless. I'm happy his parents weren't upset. Loved the interaction between Emily and Bella and her saying she'd lock her in the tower. Funny stuff, that. I imagine Kate will be cranky. Hope she finds her Garrett soon.

Congrats to you for doing the Elvis wedding. That must've been very fun. This was a cute chapter. Don't understand why they didn't have the parents there. They all get along and they are close to each other. That was strange to me. To each, their own, I suppose.

That was quite the whirlwind engagement. No sooner engaged and they already have the day planned. Of all the days to choose . . . they choose one they hate, lol. Our day meant absolutely nothing to anybody but us, until our eighth wedding anniversary. September eleventh. At least what I am assuming is your real life anniversary, is a much happier day for many, many people.

I'm Irish and I've never had a claddaugh ring. My brother does and has worn his forever, off and on, since being a teen. They basically got engaged the same as my husband and I. No words, just slipped an engagement ring in my left hand. We stared at each other and cried happy tears. I still tease him for never proposing, hehehe. Wouldn't change it for the world.

That was a great idea she had. To have the night they never got to have. The do-over. Jake was funny in this one. Guy made me laugh pretty hard with a couple of his comments. They've resumed their intimacy, so that's a really old thing.

You made me want chocolate chip cookies, darn it!

Hmmm?

Emily is fantastic. I loved that the music she chooses is very good music. Still don't like that he pulled this on Bella. They needed to speak first and hash things out. Then he could've asked her when would be a good time to meet Emily, instead he just assumes she's okay with him springing her on her. Typical parent, assuming everyone will be fine with their kid. Bella wanted to meet her yes, but I still think it could've been better planned. It is what is, as they say.

Oh, not sure I like that. They needed to talk before he brought Emily around. I really don't like that at all. He doesn't even know if there is a 'them' anymore, without them first talking. How could he do this to Emily? What is WRONG with him? Has he got a screw loose?

I'm still with Bella on this one. I really don't like that her friends are telling her that she is being immature about it. I feel it is the opposite. Let her have TIME to work this out. It is his responsibility to get his ex under control. Unless he wants her back? He says he doesn't, yet his actions are saying something else entirely. She is not wrong in the way she is acting. She did open the communication that very day, only to come out of hiding, which was less than a week mind you, and sees him with his ex and his family all dining together. I wouldn't stop to count effing plates! I would do what she did and turn right around and leave quietly. Shame on Alice for putting this on Bella.
