Its a testament to your story that I tell you I have stopped reading JR Ward's new book to read this story. I read the first chapter while taking a quick break of Lover Reborn and I was only able to return when the battery on my phone (I read all my fanfic mobily) died. This was a great story! Excellent job! I hope you are producing work outside the fandom as well, you write very well.

Youtubed red ht riding hood after this chapter. Eddo's right, what a babe!

Um, could we GET any cuter? Think not.

Abw!

As always its A pleasure to see the real warmth and depth you bring to your words. Living here in the sunshine is also an entirely new perspective-all the beautiful people here can give a very unrealistic scale that only the arms of love can rectify. That you do so well!
Again, thanks
Reb

was wonderful to reunite with these two again

I have loved this story sinc ethe first time I started to read it. Thnank you for you gift.

I read this on the plane trip home last night, and it struck such a chord that I have to review before I fall into bed. I love that you wrote about Bella's insecurity about her body after having two children. No doubt many of us have experienced that gut-wrenching feeling when a husband/significant other reaches around and slides a hand across a never-to-be-flat again belly. And not only did you capture that moment of quiet shame, but you wrote so eloquently about what must be universal guilt that we'd let our self-image interfere with that important connection to a loved one. From rolling away and pretending to be asleep, to the despair of realizing nothing fits, you nailed the insecurity that motherhood tugs softly behind the joy. This was a wonderful, perfect way to end this story, because of course we all knew (since you wrote him so well) that Edward's love for Bella would never be dimmed by a touch of extra flesh. But it's nice to be reminded that we're beautiful in every phase of life, and you did that with aplomb.

Loved, loved, loved getting to know you a bit this weekend! xoxo

LOVE THIS STORY

This... was literally brilliant. Thank you so much. I hope that when I'm old and gray, I'd be able to look back at my life and have a love story like the couples in your story do.
Thank you for sharing this with us.

That really was the sweetest freakin proposal ever. Loved that.

Perfect.

It's been wonderful re-visiting this amazing story. Truly amazing. I couldn't have wished for a better ending. What a accurate picture you painted,of a beautiful woman who can no longer see past the expanded waistline,the fact that Edward was and is still fully aware how beautiful Bella is wasn't enough,thank heaven they had the talk,all her insecurities laid out and then that Edward had been feeling rejected,needing to be shown that Bella still found him attractive,you got it spot on honey,absolutely spot on. Much love as always. Pam. xx :)

LOVE it.

So endearing! I absolutely believe Edward wants Bella just as much despite babies, stretch marks, cellulite! He always will even with wrinkles, gravity etc! The desire for Bella cannot be separated by the love, the history, the bond between them! Edward's lust for Bella was never entirely about her being young & hot! It was that she was his Bella -heart & soul as well as body!

Ha! You crack me up! I can't tell you how big I smile when I read some Zumba reference on ff! Being an instructor, i can't tell u how many ladies I meet that feel just like Bella in this chapter, including myself! Makes the story more real. But I'm so sad this ones over...loved this Edward.
