SNAP!! Bella got her balls back! I hope she doesn't leave poor Edward hanging for too long though...

Geez Louise!  Cut the ambilicle cord already Esme!  Poor boys.  I would go insane if my mom insisted on living near or with me!  Now only if I could just get my mother-in-law to move away....

I liked EPOV.  And I like how Rosalie's playing the middleman.  I'm crossing my fingers for a breakthough with Bella and Edward's relationship!

Great chapter!

Edward and Bella are so... complicated?

Phew, Bella's visit is such a surprise.

Lovely fic, by the way.

YHou know what I like about this story, Profmom?  You have the most believable Edward-in-love.  He's not a saint, but he's not a angst-ridden devil either.  No noble gestures, but no sudden alcohol/drug issues, no Emoward crap, no wild declarations.  He's a guy.  I love him being REAL, you know? 

And don't let anyone give you crap about the tiny cliffie, either.  I did the same thing a couple of chapters ago in mine, and I thought some people were gonna come unglued.  For the record, I really like single POV chapters.  They give you the space to really develop characters and situations in a way that is very hard to do well when you're worrying about changing mid-stream.

I'm very much looking forward to your next chapter (though I always like Edward better than Bella POVs-both th write and to read).  You've even made her tolerable to me, and that takes some doing!

um, that is completely unfair!  i'm going to need a faster update with double the cliff hangers like that :(

but in all seriousness....i'm so glad this story is somewhat making its way out of its incredible depressing nature.  i felt almost sedated while reading the other chapters, seeming weighed down by the incredible burden of their hopelessness and misery.  now...the numbness seems to be working its way into my heart--well, at least that heavy feeling is gone.

happiness in the possible near future?

then again, i can't stop reading it -- so....whatever you do, i will most likely enjoy, haha.

I won't throw things at you for the cliffy, if you don't leave me in the dark for long. Thanks :)

Loved the confrontation with rosalie... it was real and honest, and wasnt just an easy fix with those two instantly becoming friends. that was cool of you.

And meeting Jasper was wonderful as well. He was so sweet and nice, and no wonder Bella approved of him...

And her old boss. That scene was fucking hilarious!!! XD

And Edward... *sigh* I swooned at his message all over again hahahaha

The way you ended the pure torture! How will Bella respond??? Was he beign too forward too soon? Or will she get all excited and do hand flutters and the like? XD

I'm excited to see what happens next and am I glad I have the next chapter to read!!! though I wont be abkle to do it for a while... oh well. lol

*squeeeeee* I'm so excited for next chapter!!!

Also, Rosalie is awesome. I don't know if I mentioned that yet. And Esme amuses me.

Thank you for this wonderful story! I'm excited for the next update! :)

I'm so very glad Bella is repairing friendships and is on the mend. I also really liked how you described Jasper and Alice's relationship right here: "They had entire conversations with their faces. He adored her.  He could barely take his eyes off her, but it wasn’t possessive; it was as if he were afraid to miss a moment."

Can't wait to see what happens next! :)

Actually, I like the juxtaposition. Good job (although it still made my heart hurt). I really liked the shredding paper part. It seems...appropriate.

Oh Gosh... You are killing me. I can't wait. My heart is aching for him. I just want him to have some relief. PLEASE!!!

:( I'm about ready to cry right now. Wow. And your last line, "Somehow, those two feet of mine carried me away," was wonderful. I really hope things get better soon!
