I love Soberward (is it wrong to call him that? lol). Anywho. I love his POV. I find him refreshing and adorable. He's so uncertain and awkward. His want and need to touch Bella in such an adolescent fashion is enduring. 

I've just become addicted to this fic. 

Awwww I love their awkward conversation. Its so real and so sweet. They are so cute!! I'm so glad they are becoming friends. So adorable. :) 

I love this fic so far. I love how real it all seems and how easy it is to relate to the characters. Edward's loneliness really makes me sad for him. i feel sad that no one seems to ever want to talk to him, and he doesnt really want to talk to anyone else. I hope Bella is the light out of his darkness and that she becomes a good friend. More then anything, that seems to be what he needs. 

Excellent writing! Thank you for sharing! 

Love this story.

Its odd to call a story about a recovering addict "sweet"--but this is just that.  This last chapter made me all butterflies and giddy like a 16yr old girl.  And I'm late in noting it, but the second chapter made this former resident of Ashford St. miss Boston's student 'hood something fierce.  The incline down the curve of Comm ave did make such a perfect ramp for stumbling home at inappropriate hours.  

It felt a little like Bella should've asked him inside for like coffee or something, but I'm thinking that she didn't want him to have an awkward interaction with Charlie or something to make him uncomfortable... which it good.

What a great non-date date. I was wondering when Edward would say something about not being in  a relationship until his 1 yr sobriety mark.

More with the wonderful awkwardness! Argh, I want him and Bella to get together so bad, but I'm happy he's sticking with his sobriety plan. Good for him!

really liking this story so far. very rich and interesting characters

Wow, this just makes me feel kind of empty inside. I'm hoping that's how it's supposed to be, or I would be a little weirded out with myself. I love your writing, so I'm going to go with I should feel like this!

!!!!! It's one of those moments where you feel like you're watching a horror movie and you're telling them "No don't go in there!" Yeah, I was soooooo telling, well rather yelling, Edward not to do this and bring up the "can't be with someone for year" thing. When you have the ability to take a reader up so high and just blam! Drop them and make them feel exactly what the other characters are feeling, that's just awesome writing. I felt like I was sitting in that Bella's place, rain splattering the windshield, noticing the hum of the radio, a slight chill in the truck cab, and hearing that velvety voice echoing "friends." You're a very talented writer and I am enjoying this story. This is very different than any other fanfic I've ever read- which is a great thing. 

More please.
