Wow that was intense! I'm on pins and needles as to how their meeting is going to go. So looking forward to your next update. Please update as soon as you can.

Author's Response:

I promise I will do my best, chapter 23 is with my beta now. I don't see any changes up ahead, though reading these reviews I'm thinking of just checking the next chapter one more time. I think that's the nerves talking...

Thank you.

OMGoodness. I like reading from Edwards POV..You're good! I can't wait for them to see each other again. How easy was that for Edward to find her, once he knew her real name..

Author's Response:

That's why her real name could have never been used; she would have been traced. If James had not told him, Edward would never have found her. He never knew who her family and friends were so he couldn't go through them to locate her. Once the PI had her name and he checked the flight manifesto's it was easy. It was such a relief on my part to get all the secrets out of the way. Now we can concentrate on these two crazy kids.

Thank you for leavinga review

i want more right now! don't make us wait so long again!

Author's Response:

Nastey!!!

Good to see you. I may be jonesing for a pretty banner after Christmas (Hint hint) do you fancy tagging along for the ride? Nothing set in stone yet, but a few ideas are on the table. My lovely readers THIS IS the beautiful beaver that made E and B pretty (a round of applause please!). Anyway back to the story.

It's with my beta right now. I am happy with the chapter so it's unlikely that I will pull it back and change anything. It's a big chapter, bigger than this one. Bear with me, I promise it won't be long.

Take care, sweetie.

Great chapter. 

I was surprised with the length of time that has occurred between Bella leaving and Edward finally getting close to finding her.  She could only be a shell of her former self, both physically and emotionally, after all of those months without Edward.

I hope he can find forgiveness for Bella.  They are so lost without each other.

Author's Response:

I struggled with the length of time on this. He was technical shrouded from the fallout, not having to deal with the feds directly or Aro. He had Mike and Tanya to sulk around. He knew by then what her connection was and that was difficult for him to swallow. He was embarrassed and he felt foolish, just that alone took time for him to accept. He never stopped loving her but he did grow to hate her, that's a mixed bag of feelings. The title of the next chapter will give you an indication of how long it was and how Bella is actually feeling...it isn't good.

Truthfully the forgiveness will be raw. It had to be real in my eyes; I couldn't have fluff and soppy clichés. It wouldn't fit in with the story and yes Bella is broken. 

Thank you

Hmmm, now I'm even more intrigued. And angry. And frustrated. But I like James, even if I do want to punch him for not answering more questions. I thought that him going to see Edward was really....noble?...brave?  I do want to smack Bella though, for actually stealing the painting in the first place, so I'm glad you gave a reason for why she chose this particular painting and how important it was to her dad. I do not foresee happy times ahead. I foresee a difficult chapter to read when they confront each other and I honestly have no idea how they can work this out and get past it. But that's why you are the author and I am the reader. Feel free to put the next chapter up soon. My curious mind would much appreciate it. Great work x

Author's Response:

James went there holding a cupful of torment. He had no intention of making it easy for Edward. That was my favourite scene; ah, I could go on for hours talking about this chapter. I thought it was brave of James too, we all know his feelings regarding Edward and he was really only there for one reason only...Bella. It was about time we had some questions answered regarding the heist. This was always the wish that was to be carried out it was never meant to be personal. The next chapter will hurt, tempers are high and emotions are frail.

I love your subtle way of asking for an update!!

Thank you so much for your input. I see these characters so clearly in my head I often talk about them like there real. Scary!

That was another great chapter. This will be one show down. Edwards character is great.

I'm sorta hoping for a good reunion but I'm wondering if that's possible...lol Great update. Poor Edward.

Reviewer: hopeless_romantic (Anonymous) · Date: November 24, 2009 10:57 PM · On: Chapter 22 Edward

Okay, when are you updating again?  I've been waiting and waiting and you finally update to leave the story like this?  Argh!  Please update soon again.  Thanks!

Author's Response:

Hello hopeless_romantic

The next chapter is with my Beta now. Our process is to discuss the chapter, any niggles or concerns we tend to chat about them at the weekend. Katydid2363 then works hard to make it look pretty and if all goes well I can upload the chapter.

The process for uploading a chapter is quicker on FF, so you'll notice it will appear on their first. I can post a teaser for the next chapter on the Stolen HeART thread on the forum if you like? The threads rather shy, though I'm a blackberry away from any questions or queries that appear on the forum.

I'm definitely not a fan of the cliffy. Yet the moment Edward reached the hanger I knew if I carried on I would lose the tension that I needed for the next chapter.

Thank you for leaving a review ♥

OUHHHH.. this is going to get all kinds of ugly....

But i hope they can work it out!!!

Author's Response:

Truthfully the next chapter will be painful for both of them.

No fluff in this chapter I'm sorry to say.

Thank you for leaving a review :)

I love your penname!!

Poor Edward indeed, I'm afraid to say, it won't get easier in the next chapter.

Thank you for reading my story.

Wow, you really got me choked up with this chapter! I've loved your story, I think the low number of reviews is because we're all EXHAUSTED at the end of each chapter!

Author's Response:

Lol!! I can imagine you all smoking a cigarette and looking all spent after reading a chapter!!! There is a lot going on, isn't there?

I have to say it starts to get exciting now. Chapters are big, questions are answered. I think my next story maybe turned down a notch or two. A bit more calming on the nerves, so to speak.

Thank you. I'm glad you're enjoying it.

That was so sad, but a really good chapter. James' point of view should be interesting; I quite like him in this story.

Hello Alice

Thank you very leaving a review. I'm glad you like James, there's a lot more of him over the next chapter or so.

Reviewer: yanxxx (Signed) · Date: October 25, 2009 01:24 AM · On: Chapter 21 James

I knew James loves her, but I didn't know it was in that way.
I have never loved James as much I as do now. My heart broke with his...I really wish that he would have his happy ending.. he deserves one. (Pretty please?)

Your chapters are always the emotional ride Wordy, and always beautifully written..
Yes, James is very much a hero in my eyes too.

Author's Response:

Yep! His has a soft spot for Bella, actually he loves her. Though now he as to do what is best for her and put his feeling aside to save Bella. I'm working on the epilogue now, which is proving difficult, I have to tie up the ends of each character and James is my toughest thread to knot. I can't promise a fluffy ending for James, but he will be happy in himself. It's very kind of you to mention my way of writing, thank you and I'm glad you agree with my choice of hero.
