SO beautiful. I don't even have the words.

GOOD FUCKING GOD!  THIS WAS THE BEST CHAPTER THUS FAR!  You don't know how long I've waited for Edward's history to be revealed.  It was and still is driving me crazy.  The mystery is almost too much. 

Aro was absoloutely terrifying in this chapter.  He's the picture of easy going evil.  He's got a kind face and a black heart.  The detail with the gloves was great.  Nice white gloves, reminds me of an anime called Hellsing. 

I say again, THIS WAS SO FRIGGIN AWSOME.  And now Bella is in Floraida  away from her vampire.  Jane was terrifying also, the little she devil.  Apt description of her as Satan.

Master of teh Boot

Ahhhhhhhhhhfuck that was awesome!!! I have a goofy smile in my face after that kiss ahhh

Awesome chapter Jane is a bitch!!!!!

bye 

That was perfect!!! Wonder where the relationship will go from here. Can't wait to read more!

You made me want my first kiss all over again. Oh golly and the slow torture of him not immediately saying he loved her back *sigh*

I think it was perfect how she chose to be completely honest with him over her fear of rejection. And I nearly had heart fail when he questioned her about why she had ever come to him at all.

 

MmmmMmmmm good

AWWW, just awww.  Sweet reunion!

Best.Kiss.Ever.

“I need you, too,” he whispered,

Your Edward makes me melt, and you capture the very best of Bella.  This is so sweet and tender and perfect.  Thank you!

SIGH.....what a chapter.  I love this story and this chapter is one of my favorites.  My heart so breaks for Edward.  I can't wait for the next chapter!

It was more than awesome!

I can't believe you tricked us like that in the beginning.  I just KNEW there wasn't going to be a kiss after she stopped in the beginning!  And then POW!

Even if you didn't mean it, I like how it was kind of symbolic that Bella had the blanket this time.  She's always comforted Edward with it.  He's always the one left vulnerable and had it as his only shield.  The places were switched for once.

And his happy smile!!!  Just aaww lol THank you!

Things I love:

* Bella's struggle... even if I desperately wanted her to pounce on him immediately.

* Edward in a wet t-shirt

* Edward sniffing her under the ear

* The way Edward touches his bicep when starting to talk about Aro, such a little detail but so something that we would all do.

* Bella's ILY confession. 

* Edward's concern for her

* The concept that Aro was lying in his thoughts, manipulating

* That he realizes Esme & Carlisle's involvement in trying to comfort him

*  "I can see why you love them." - alarms, bells, whistles - he understands LOVE!!!

* The forehead smooch

** God, I hope he wanted to try what I wanted him to try. **

* EPIC description of an EPIC first kiss - worth the wait... even when I didn't want to wait. :-)

*  Edward's INY confession

* side by side noses

* The playful "let her wait" quick kiss w/ smiles

*  squeals

Great chap!  E is so meek, I'm wondering when he will recover enough to share more of himself with his new family.  I'm also happy for B.  Still nervous about the Volturi though...
