Such dedication to such a wonderful story most certainly deserves a break. I hope you and your Muse enjoy the time to explore, relax, do whatever you need to do to recharge your batteries.
Best Wishes on your vacation.

First of all, I must apologize for being so tardy in both my response and in posting an update. Within hours of returning from Washington, I was admitted to the hospital for emergency surgery. After a week in the hospital, I am finally physically capable of sitting at the computer for more than five minutes at a time, and mentally capable of concentrating for more than two minutes, and it's time to get back into the swing of things!
Thank you so much for taking the time to read and comment - it means the world to me! I hope to hear from you again when Chapter 25 posts in the next week or so!

That was such a cute and sexy chapter lol That seems a little weird to say but it was. I just finished Water For Elephants and I absolutely loved it. The "L" word (and not lesbian lol) is going to make its presence known sometime this weekend, right?

I am so glad that you enjoyed Chapter 24. It was great fun to write meeting the parents with Carlisle and Esme, as well as Sarah's pre-dance surprise for Bella. I will neither confirm nor deny that any "L" words will make an appearance this weekend.... but we've still got some weekend to cover!! Oh, and I loved Water for Elephants as well, especially the ending!!! I can't wait to see Rob play Jacob on the big screen!

Ummmm...yeah....me likey this chapter. A LOT. Awesome job!

Well, there may have been growling but it definitely wasn't from frustration. ;)
This was incredibly hot. I loved that he wanted a 'do over' of the ending of their first kiss. It is incredible to see how intense their passion and desire is for each other.
I really, really, really enjoyed that Bella got to live out her fantasy with Edward. I think Edward needs to share some of his fantasies and share those too. ;)
Oh, and I do hope that they talk soon. She still needs answers.
Author's Response:
Awww, I'm so glad you liked it. The do-over kiss wasn't planned, but Edward was whispering in my ear about that.... and you know I can't resist Edward when he whispers in my ear. Or at any other time, really :)
Hmmm, Edward fantasies..... oh Edward! We need to talk, baby!
Thanks so much for reading & taking the time to let me know :)

Hello, from a habitual lurker! I found this story a few days ago when it was updated, and I'm already caught up and anxious for the next chapter.
First, I just have to say that I love that you made them take it slow at first. Considering the premise of this story, I don't think I could have respected either of them if they had hopped into bed together right away. Very wise choice you made, and I commend you for it. :)
Also, I can't tell you how much I'm absolutely loving your Bella. I honestly didn't know if I would like reading a story that took place a bit "later in life" than I'm used to reading, but I'm so glad I gave this story a chance.
Now, quit reading my review and get to updatin'! ;-)
Author's Response:
Thank you so much for taking the time to review and comment. And mega thanks for taking a chance on a story that you weren't sure was up your alley.
Given their pasts, they needed to take things slow, and I'm so glad that you approve!! One of my biggest goals with this story is to keep it somewhat realistic, and your words tell me that it's resonating that way.
I am so glad to have you as a reader - I hope that you'll continue to let me know your thoughts as the story progresses! Thanks again for taking the time to review!

That was an awesome chapter. Nice, hot, steamy, sex in her office at the bookstore. I am sure that she will a hard time working at that desk for quite some time. I know I would. Some sexy about having sex at the work place. YUMMY. Cannot wait for more. THANKS FOR THE SEXY, HOT READING. Sher

So yeah this:
Edward cupped my face with both of his hands, sliding his fingertips along my cheekbones and bringing his thumbs to rest against my cheeks. He exerted the gentlest of pressure to tilt my head back, slowing bringing his closed lips to mine. He kissed both corners of my mouth and then took my bottom lip between both of his, nibbling lightly. The very tip of his tongue grazed the outline of my upper lip, and we both sighed in pleasure when I opened my lips, my tongue reaching out to touch his.
Jesus H. Crackercrumbs! THAT IS SO HOT! Love this chapter, told you that already but did I in fact mention this?:
I AM IN THIS FUCKING FIC!!!!! WHOO HOO!!!!
Seriously, you made my life! LOL
MWAH!

Author's Response:
I'm so glad you enjoyed it - thanks for letting me know!
And now a little sneak peek into Chapter 23...
I slid my arms around his waist and my hands into the back pockets of his jeans, cupping and squeezing his ass the way he did mine. His responding groan sent a shiver down my spine.
Edward pulled back, his eyes dark, his breathing rapid. “Go. Do your paperwork,” he commanded in a low voice that made my stomach flutter. “The sooner the work is done, the sooner the play can start.”

Their dinner was great. I thought it was brilliant of Edward to bring gifts to the kids. It was a wonderful icebreaker with them.
I loved that Bella realized the importance of needing to know more about Edward and his past - especially because of her kids. I do hope she is able to get more answers soon.
Still, I love them and all their moments together - even their stolen moments. It is so wonderful seeing them continuing to grow closer and now involving her kids is a huge step in their relationship.
(PS- loved Edward's POV and I don't know if I could really pick specific chapters -- I want it all!)
As always, can't wait for more!!
