ls Jamie still alive? I keep feeling that he isn't.

That was great! Maia was right; Bree is delusional. And poor Diego. I can't believe Bree was talking about if she and Edward had gotten married, especially with her husband sitting right there. What a shrew!

And I'm curious too about what the kids put in Bree's food and drinks. Stay safe and well!

I hope it's just salt that the kids put in Bree's water, and not something worse. Us hate for Bree and Diego to sue the Cullens. The seem like the litigious type. I'm so curious to see what else the kids have vup their sleeves.

Stay safe and well!

I love the life they've built and the kids are a hoot with their distinct personalities! But yeah, I can see how the news would be...deflating.I'm still not even sure what would possess Bella to invite Bree over. :(

Stay safe and well!

I really loved this HEA for them! Things kind of came full circle. Interesting that you went with James and not just Jamie for their daughter. Was this before or after Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively's daughter was born? Regardless, what a lovely way to honor Bella's brother!

This has been a wonderful journey! I think Quirkella may be one of my favorites!

Stay safe and well!

Ugh! I don't remember specifically what Bella said that Edward told her she was right about. Can you please remind me, Patty?

What a wonderful time and experience that Bella is having! I'm glad Edward is able to share some of it with her!

Stay safe and well!

I love their words,your words) to each other, weather in Italian or a letter! But most importantly, I love that they're giving their words to each other without reservation! As it should be!

And I love that despite it all, Bella is getting her trip to Tuscany!Stay safe and well!

That's some modern fairy tale shit right there! And doesn't Edward write a response letter to Bella's? At least that's what I thought his letter was. I'm sure I'll find out in later chapters.

You go get your girl, Edward! She deserves that and more.

Jake really is a good guy. I'm sorry he's still carrying a torch for Bella, but he still did the right thing.

Stay safe and well!

Well, that's a clusterfuck! I really wish Edward had been braver. But I have to say, I got a lot of satisfaction when Bella slapped Bree. Bree deserves that and more. Not to mention yelling Bella's personal business in public. I hope she gets fired over that. And maybe has her license revoked too!

Stay safe and well!

Wtf, Edward?! I ƙind of expected some underhanded shit from Bree, but Edward's lack of action surprised me. I hope Bree realizes aoon that she and Edward are never getting back together.

Stay safe and well!

I really hope Bella is telling Esme her story. And I'm shocked and a bit awed by Bella's request to Bree.

From the letters st the beginning of the chapters, is obviously that Bella leaves at some point. I just wonder what the tipping point is, and where Bella goes.

Stay safe and well!

P.S. Now I'm wondering which story you ended up posting after this.

They've come so far, I hope that Bella doesn't let that word uttered while dreaming put a wedge between them. Although, coupled with the picture that Edward should have tossed out, certainly won't help. If they would each say, ILY, I thunk that would go a long way in reassuring them both. But we know they don't. I'm waiting for the second shoe to drop.

Stay safe and well!

I wish Edward could focus more on how Bella sees Jake rather than how Jake sees Bella.

I also wish they'd say what's in their hearts. But sex with each other is a big step.

I'm so curious about the whole thing with Jamie. I'm glad this is a complete story!

Stay safe and well!

I'm so glad that the truth is out now, and that they're going to face the future together! Bella’s story is heartbreaking, but was is even sadder is that I'm sure there are plenty of RL stories out there that are even worse.

I'm actually thinking that the letters are what Bella and Edward are writing to each other while she finishes up her degree in Arizona. But I guess I'll just have to wait and see.

Stay safe and well!
