poor edward, this is all a bit much for him. i'm honestly still feeling sorry for him...and honestly, i don't wuite get this need for introductions before dates and this whole dating-thing but then again, i'm not american and this seems to be the american way...anyway, in my mind the less the pressure the better for edward. cause just because he admitted liking bella and letting her touch him doesn't mean he's better. he isn't and he went through sth. that can't be healed with a kiss...i think.

Author's Response: You're not wrong. He has a lot to deal with and he's nowhere near okay, even though Bella's presence is making it easier for him. Thank you for leaving a review.

another great chapter! I loved emmet but I'm worried with edward... he seems too nervous...

what charles knows? 

 

Author's Response: You'll find out how much Charlie knows about Edward's situation eventually. ;) I'm glad you liked the chapter, thank you.

Awww... baby steps w/ Emmett. That was really nice! Yay for Edward not backing out of the date and not asking Bella to lie. Very curious what Charlie meant about a restraining order and cannot wait for the meeting between Edward and Charlie. Thanks for writing! :-)

Author's Response: You're welcome, and thank you so much for leaving me a review!

Nervouse Edward is a cute Edward! I'm glad him and Emmett talked - ya never know it could b the begining of a better relationship between them. The flower thing is so cute I wonder if Edward will get her flowers and if so if we get to know the meanings
of the ones he gets. Still very much looking forward to Charlie meeting Edward!
Thanks for the update xo

Author's Response: Thank you so much for your review! :)

Yay Emmett!  It was wonderful seeing him be the big brother and offering Edward advice.  I hope that they can continue to build on this. 

I am intrigued about the restraining order.  I can't wait to find out more! 

I am just so excited for their date.  I truly hope that it goes well!

Author's Response: You'll find out more about that eventually. Thanks for your review, more coming soon.

Holy Freakin Hale!! That was great! For a second there I thought Alice and Emmett were going to give Edward an anxiety attack, I mean the poor guy was already flipping over meeting Charlie. I just love Emmett for talking Edward of the ledge sort of speak. He really is a good guy and I do hope one day they will be friends.

Author's Response: Hopefully they will. I'm so happy you liked it, thank you very much!

AWWW! Emmett is acting like a big brother! Thank you for that  (from all of us "Emmett-girls" out here!!!) I will be honest, I love me some Emmett! all strong and protective-like! Yummy!

Author's Response: I love Emmett. There's just no way I would let him be a jerk forever. *lol* Thank you so much for reviewing!

Great chapter. I figured Charlie knew something about Edward's past since he's the sheriff. I like being right and I'm really glad Bella asked him not to shake hands. I like that Bella's presence in Edward's life seems to be helping him bond with his family more. It's like they've seen how she's been able to reach him and they have renewed hope that he can get better. And is funny how both Bella and Edward are afraid the other will back out. I hope they'll be able to declare their feelings soon.

Author's Response: Let's hope so, yeah. And we all like to be right, don't we? *lol* Thank you so much for your review!

Aww, nice to see some brotherly bonding (sort of!) at least Emmett is trying. Great chapter.

Author's Response: Thank you, glad you liked it! :)

Aww come on you can't leave it like that!! Lol. Poor edward he must be so freakin confused by everything. I can't wait to get to the actual date but I have a feeling your going to make us wait
a little bit before we get to the good stuff.

Author's Response: What makes you think that? *lol* Sorry for leaving it like that. Wait, no I'm not. *evil grin* Thanks for leaving a review, there will be more soon. :)

Aw.. Emmett just showed his gooey center. Cute in a back slapping throat clearing kind of hetero bonding way.

Author's Response: Yup, Emmett's a sweetie deep inside. :)

I've started reading this really interesting story a few hours ago and i just couldn't stop!

Your writing is so solid and the characters are so interesting and different from any other Edward and Bella story i've ever read...well done ! 

I hope you'll update soon cause i feel that what's to come will be even better!

Author's Response: I'm so happy to have a new reader, yay! :) Thank you so much for leaving a review and telling me you enjoy my story. I usually try to update every 4-5 days and a new chapter (32) is up.
