I was wondering when the divorce papers would show up. Poor Alice. I have faith it will all work out in the end though. A love like Bella's and Edwards transcends even the darkest of days.

 

Eagerly awaiting the next chapter. =)

The evening on the boat was so romantic.  My Girl was the perfect song to play in the background as we read Edward's confession of his childhood crush on Bella.  There for a minute I was taken back to the skating rink as I drank pop thru a straw with  my first ever crush.  It is possible that My Girl could have been playing in the background then.

After all the great effort to hide the divorce from Alice she found out anyway.  Through the years we have had friends and family that have gotten divorced.  No matter what the circumstances it is hard to accept.  It is as if if it can happen to them it can happen to you too.  My husband I were the lucky ones because it always made us more resolved to never let go no matter what.  God, I love that man.  Okay.  Now Edward and Bella have a pixie to talk to as well as one another.  They also need to speak with Esme and Carlisle.  So they will be busy.  I can certainly understand if the next chapter takes a while to write.

Thats a shitty reaction for someones sister to have. loved it all until that point.

Now they just need to have a big barnfire and burn them!

didn't see Alice getting the papers, thought maybe Esme would get and then the famiy would find out in a huge heated argument.....Hurry with the next chapter please!

Oh, poor Alice.  But, question?  Edward said Bella was pissed after lunch?  Was she actually PO'd or was he just thinking she would be when he told her what was going on?  That was a little unclear.  If she was upset, then I didn't catch why.  ALthough, I assume it was because she could tell Edward was keeping something from her.  Either way, I missed that.  And now I am wondering if there is more fighting ahead for our couple which would make me sad. :-(

Alice! She's soooo angry; I would be too. I wonder if she'll let Bella and Edward explain. I hope she does so that everything can be cleared up and she doesn't stress out even more right before her wedding. Great writing!

okay so i don't see the angst...this is all within a conversation away :)  but i get why you felt the need to end it like that.

I guess the chapter wasn't too angsty, but I figured I'd warn you guys somewhat. I'm glad you liked it!

Oh shit! I hope the angst doesn't last too long. Edward, Edward, Edward *shakes head* I know why you didn't say anything but damn I wish you had. It's all going to be fine in the end. Yep just fine. I'm staying positive. :)

Good idea :)

Loved the playfulness with Bella and Rose and the compromise for their dinner date with the men following a girls day.

I enjoyed the evening with Carlisle and Esme.   I can remember spending time with our parents on such occasions as this and thinking how wonderful it is that they still love one another so much.  Years have passed and my love for my husband grows with each passing moment.  So yea, I really enjoyed this "date".

I am curious as to how C/E will react when they tell them what had happened to them.  I am hoping the admission will stengthen their new found resolve and they will come out of it much stronger.  At first I didn't understand why they would go their but I can see how a few words of wisdom and unconditional love will benefit them in the long run.  I am very much looking forward this.
