Are we going to see whats happening with Dimitri and Elizabeth? I feel like we've forgotten all about the Velathri clan.

Love that Alice and Jasper have such a cute relationship. It is also so sweet to hear from Alice herself that she is so excited that Bella and her are going to be able to be friends. Jasper is so cute. Glad we got to see a bit of him here. So cute!!! xoxoxo

Love it!

So wonderful to have Alice's final demon banished. All her fears removed and the joy of having Bella attempt to be her true friend. She sure loves hers man. Hopefully the paints are washable. It would be comically to have a warpainted Jasper face at dinner.

Adored Edward taking care of his girls in the morning, even though Bella is not a morning person. Coffee on the nightstand with floral. Very sweet and romantic. Bella is already fitting into the Cullens' lives including ideas for their charities.

Going over to Alice's and the painting. Beautiful. Tear jerker. Very happy Bella was able to forgive Alice as well and move forward. Bella has more facts now regarding both Alice and Edward's state of mind based on prior traumatic events in their lives that affected their decisions. Remember they were only teenagers. Kids. Mistakes, misunderstandings, confusion, fear of being hurt and used again. Many factors led to what happened. Regret,sorrow, loss have all been realized and learned as everyone has grown and matured. 

 

Loved this chapter about forgiveness.  You're tying things up nicely. :-)

So glad you are staying true to yourself and this story.

I loved this chapter.  I find Bella's capacity to forgive so admirable.  The whole situation was so unfortunate.  I'm like Bella it makes more sense knowing that Edward didn't believe Tanya but that it was Alice that convinced him.

I'm happy for them!  Dixie

I really liked this :) And I can't say that I'm not happy that this story is going to last a little bit longer. I'm glad that there was enough love for this story to get you to continue the track you were originally planning. I can't wait to see what you have planned next!

Have I told you lately I am in love with your Edward, hee hee, he leaves flowers and coffee by the bed side in the morning, and makes omelets...oh my..., loved their little conversation about "garters" and the promise of later.  Cool that he introduced her as his "girlfriend", loved the explanation about what he did for her b'day all these years.  As I began reading about the portrait of Bella all I kept thinking was how this would be a great movie, I wish there were some way to see the portrait myself, and I do think this story would make one heck of a movie.  I'm thrilled to hear that you are going back to your original plan to finish out this story.  I'm waiting for them to start construction of their house at his family compound, great chapter, I'm glad she and Alice are "finding their way".  Have a wonderful week..

Happy and sad tearrs mixed to a perfection. I love it.

Your story is lovely and you should finish it the way you want.

I stand with the few that never want this to end but I am hoping you will alow her visions to become a reality that they have the gift of more children together this time and he can be a part of all of it ...I have enjoyed every angsty chapter this was wonderful
