I can't wait for them to get together.  They both seem hyperaware of eachother physically now!

Author's Response:

Yes--they both find each other attractive, and they are indeed hyper aware of each other's presence. ;)

Another great chapter leaving me hanging!!  Why is she upset?? 

Author's Response:

I won't leave you hanging by your fingernails for long. I've updatd chapter 48, it should be posted today or tomorrow. And Bella's not angry-upset, she's sad upset. It's a combination of the song, the Edward in her arms, additional stuff she knows about him from the evenings banter. It's just hit her pretty hard. Stay tuned for an all E & B chapter. Let me know what you think when you check it out.

Thanks for the review.

I am happy Edward didn't tolerate Bella's indifference.  He can't handle separation between them.  I can't wait for them to spend some time alone together... ;o)

Author's Response:

She said one thing and then proceeded to do another. Said she wouldn't avoid him, then she avoids him. she's just confused. But you are right, it's good that he didn't tolerate it---the longer that went on, the more uncomfortable it would become. He's kind of taking the bull by the horns---and you are right, he can't handle their separation, especially when it's for no reason. 

I guess now you know that they do get some alone time---you're way past this chapter. ;)

okay i'm confused as to why slow dancing would upset her but hey i'm sure you will explain it in the next chapter.

the scientist?

Author's Response:

He le c!

Nope, not The Scientist--although that is a great song. It's not the actual slow dancing that is upsetting her, it's everything--the music, Edward's nearness, stuff she now knows a little more about. She's not mad-upset, she's sad-upset.

Chapter 48 should be up today or tomorrow. Let me know what you think. Keep in touch.

This chapter was very angsty, but they need to be experiencing this.  THey both have to question everything they've based their lives on for the past few years.  Things are getting shaken up.  Neither one was looking to meet their soulmate!  Good luck trying to pretend that isn't real...

Author's Response:

Hi D!

They are being forced to come to terms with shaking things up. You are right---they have to questiion everything they have been doing, the way they have been going about their lives. Something's missing. Each other!!! LOL

Thanks again, I'm loving your reviews. You get each chapter in a nutshell.

im off now to rake through my husbands cd collection as i sooooo would lurve a slow dance and muchmuch more from edward

xxx

Author's Response:

Hi div dev!

Oh yes yes yes yes yes yes. You will see why she is upset---and it's not angry upset, it's sad upset. And maybe you will figure out why now. And no, it's not the last time they will slow dance. How could anyone ever slow dance just ONCE with Edward???

I'm so glad that you are loving this story. One of the best compliments a reader could pay me is that you just couldn't stop reading long enough to leave a review because you were so wrapped up in the story. I extend forgiveness where that is the case. ;)

So hellllloooooo right back at 'cha! Am wondering if your hubs CD collection gave you any ideas?

Thanks for the review (at long last! ;) ) Keep in touch, girlfriend. Chapter 48 should be up today or tomorrow.

OH honey...Esme's birthday was Fantastic! Everyone just made such a wonderful contribution. To watch them all interact was just so heartwarming. The stories Esme and Carlisle told were so cute and hilarious. I just love your characters...

I hope to god they don't throw condoms at Edward, that would be mortifying but funny all in one.

Hmmm I wonder why slow dancing with Edward would upset Bella, Hell I' wouldn't be upset...

Author's Response:

Hi AJ!

Glad you liked Esme's b-day celebration. I thought it was good to get a little family "dirt" and see them interacting as kids with each other. I'm glad you love my characters. I love them too.

Thankfulloy, no flying condoms. ;)

I know, slow dancing with Edward would be one of the least upsetting things on the planet--but it's the song and the moment and additional information Bella has learned that is upsetting her.

Chapter 48 should be up today or tomorrow. It will explain that upset and it's an all B & E chapter.

Thanks for the review.

Dear lord almighty...cake I need to bake me a cake...that was definalty some HOT baking my dear. I just about wet myself listening to Edward go on and on about that "chocolate Bastard" of a cake. Hmmm I think I may have some chocalate mix in the cupboard. Ohhh and then a time to "catch up" with Edward...hot damn! That was fabulous!

Oh dear and then you had Alice declare her love for the cake and leaving Japser...having a threesome with that cake seems right up Jasper's ally...again a brilliant move!

 

Author's Response:

Hi AJ!

I think it sounds like a yummy one. I haven't tried it, but it seems college-aged-kid-proof. I should make my own college-aged-kids prepare it for me. Next birthday. And I'm hoping someone gives me a weekend getaway vacation with Carlisle as a gift.

Poor Edward and his sexually frustrated inner self and the ramblings that his inner monologue spews as a result of all that pent up energy.

Glad you liked the before dinner "business", when Edward was giving Bella "the business."

Jasper and Alice will be engaged in a foursome: Jasper, Alice, the Cocblocker Cake, and the poetry book of the cake's choice. ;)

Thanks for the review.

I love how his instinct are to protect her and to watch her.  He will only get more engrossed in her.  I am really enjoying the progression of their relationship.

Author's Response:

He's a rather noble guy isn't he? He sees her fragility---she doesn't really know anyone, he knows Newton, and Lord knows who else is going to try the less-than-noble-hit on her. He's kind of smitten but doesn't even know it. You are right, he will only become more engrossed in her. Glad you are enjoying their relationship and how it is developing.

Thanks for the great, perceptive reviews! Keep in touch. I'm loving this--I keep going back to the past chapters as I read your reviews, to refresh my memory. ;)

My Cold Play Guess is "Green Eyes"

Banner~

Love that you brought up the good old Dr., and you know i was not talking that fine looking Cullen one...Iam talking me some Suess.  :)

 

I love how you give Em such a great joy of laugh, he is one hell of a prankster, and for Edward to nail him before he had a chance to do it was FUNNY!  Edward sure is a different kid now isn't he?  I am so glad that you are able to get that out in your story.

I just LOVE how Esme is all but tellign Bella she wants her as a daughter, it is really cool the way you have given each of these characters not only the ground that SM gave them but you have added to that ground to give them that extra Banner touch that makes them jsut that much more loveable!

I can only hope that by the end of my story that characters can do that same thing, or rather have that same thing.  Sorta like taking on a life of thier own.

Love the story girl!

TAT~

 

Author's Response:

Hi TAT!

"Green Eyes" WILL be in the next chapter, but it's not the song they are currently dancing to. Thought you'd like to see Dr. S iget one more mention. ;)

Emmett is just the world's biggest man-child. He's such a kidder and prankster and has a good heart and just cn't help but be incorrigible. I love that Edward beat him at the photo op for a change. Go Edward! And yes, Edward is a different KID---he's vastly different than when the story started out, he's gotten back of joy of life and he is learning how to be a kid again. He had been old and cranky before his time with all that he went through. I'm glad you mentioned. I hope he doesn't come across as too over the top for where he is coming from, you know?

Esme is so in love with Bella, isn't she??? You just know she's so happy for her baby, and relieved. Thanks for the compliment about keeping the characters based on SM's, but adding to them. That's what I was trying to do: keep them in character yet expand them and keep them believable as a real person. I'm glad you feel I've accomplished that and that you find them loveable.

It's funny how you put that---the characters taking on a life of their own---that's kind of what happens.

Hope your story writing is going well. I know you were re-working the chapters but I don't know if you still wanted me to look through the ones you had previously sent to me, or if you wanted to send re-worked versions, or if I gave you enough of what you wanted from the initial chapter.

Thanks for the review.

Fix you

Author's Response:

Hi 4321!

I'll send Edward on over. Put your dancing shoes on. ;)

Oh, what a fabulous chapter, I loved it, all of it ;)

Author's Response:

Hi 1918EC!

Glad you loved it. All of it! ;)

Is it fix you?  Does she think back to Edward and his previous relationship?  Is Bella upset  at how much that relationship impacted the last three years of his life? 

O jeeze I really need to get a life!

Author's Response:

I'm not sure I need to reply to this review. ;)

Now, don't go sayin' crazy stuff like needin' to go get a life. Your life is right here, stuck to the computer screen, reading my updates and writing multiple reviews for each chapter so I get to 10,000 reviews before the story ends. ;)

You are one cute and smart cookie, ELLC!!
