Loving this story, and Edwards fussing.

Such a beautiful story, start to finish. I wish I had the words to express how moving and lovely this story is. Thank you for sharing.

Beautiful.

THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS BRILLIANT STORY!

I love, love, love this story about Edward recovering from the agony of war and love healing wounds.. I loved the almost poetic rhythm of Edward's thoughts in your writing. I grew up in South Carolina, and it tires me how much of tv and movies belittle the intelligence of Southerners, but your writing and plot are so smart, and the characters are so wise, that the characters feel real to me. This story and your writing are lovely! Thank you so much!

Wow, was sick today and had the pleasure of reading this wonderful story all in one day. All the heart wrenching beauty of it. The story is woven with absolute truth, every character a person who never strays into unbelievability. The descriptions set such a tangible mood, yet never detract from Edward's voice. What an amazing job.

This is so beautifully written. Edward is so strong and true inside and I love the use of metaphors.

Those last two paragraphs of this chapter - I just love that; beautiful writing. Such a great story; you are a truly talented writer. I feel likebyou should look into getting published. Ive read plenty of books in print that weren't as good as this.

I had to laugh at them giving the kids noisy toys since I got lots of complaints from my sister-in-law for that same thing :)

Oh man, this is amazing! Although I must admit I was sure Bella was preggers and hormonal and needed to talk to Elizabeth because of it, but this was better (and she still could be "in the family way," right?)

Wow, this chapter was intense in every way, start to finish.

Aww, it ain't easy being a Pa!

Yay! And I'm glad Carlilse didn't try to put up a fight. He's been a gentleman about this, which is proper, but also why he isn't right for Bella.

Seems he's finding some of that peace Bella wanted for him...

She really wasn't fair to him here. Maybe she thought he was more experienced? She's not wrong that their actions were powerful but to expect him to walk away?
