Uh oh..

Incredible. What a terrible burden that Bella has carried all this time. My heart breaks for her. And I want to jack slap Renee for not being able to control herself.

This is truly a beautiful chapter. Sad that Merle had to die, but beautiful the way that Bella described how she envisions death.

Adorable.

Bella is slowly dealing with the shock of Frieda, and Edward is just the one that can help her.

So there it is...

So glad she went back for Lucky. And I'm glad that she told her mom how the cow ate the cabbage. It was time. Renee is sucking the life out of her. She is totally self-centered.

Who is that guy? I don't get a good feeling about him.

Lovely. The dogs are great.

Maybe Edward can read Bella's mind but she's pretty good at reading his too.

I love that Bella has this realization. But I hate how Renee tries to hurt Bella. She's mad because Edward turned her down.

Aha- a tangled web we weave.

Bella's"work" ( aka- everything she does for everyone else) is her excuse to close herself off from anyone who makes her uncomfortable.

This is so beautiful, the way Bella let's go. They really need each other and just the simple things in life. God, I'm so glad Edward didn't go to the bar with Renee.

I thought for one second that Bella's wall was going to drop. My heart aches for them both. Things are changing on the block, and it'd very hard for Bella.
