Fiercely independent, journalist Katherine Sterling had no need for men beyond what they could give her for a night.  But when fate interferes in the form of an assignment with actor Robert Pattinson, will she learn that, sometimes, fate knows best?  Follow these two love-weary hearts as they stumble towards a path that neither could have predicted.

"His agony defines him. His memories destroy him.

But his hope is what sustains him, feeds him, encourages him. It's his purpose. And he doesn't deny it.

Offered the chance to leave all pain and misery behind, Edward knew that it was better to suffer his loss than to forget it. For in having it, Bella remains his and only his.

To forget would be the ultimate betrayal, abandoning her once again to a world of lonliness and despair. He had already done that once upon a time, and he did so spectacularly.

He'll find her. He has to. 

HE HAS TO."

- icrodriguez (the most beautiful review I have ever received.  THANK YOU for allowing me the honour of displaying it here.  It sums up the tone of this story beautifully, hearts, Erin)

Left in the woods, an unfortunate run-in with Laurant and 45 years later - Bella finds herself facing everything she has ever wanted.  Does it want her back?  What will she discover about how Edward has been spending his time...

Rated for later chapters.

Robert Pattinson is twenty five years old and a solid A-list international star. He is on the last leg of a European promotional tour for his latest film, when he meets a sexy much older woman who has been hired to serve as his language interpreter. What will develop during their travels throughout Spain, Italy, England, France and America? Will this older woman teach Rob about love and lust or will he have something to teach her? Lots of ripe, juicy, delicious lemons and possibly other fruit, I promise.

Bella and Jacob married young, and their life together has been much more of a challenge than Bella had anticipated. She’s battling depression and he’s increasingly frustrated that his wife is no longer the same girl he married. Bella is able to find brief moments of peace and happiness in the music she surrounds herself with. She finds particular joy in the raw and powerful music of Edward Cullen, and when she takes the opportunity to see him perform live, the pair strike up an instant friendship.

As Edward and Bella become closer, it throws her struggles in her marriage to Jacob into sharp relief, and Bella begins to daydream about being romantically involved with Edward.

NOW COMPLETE!  We all wailed a collective 'ugh!' on the fade to black scenes during Edward and Bella's honeymoon, not to mention the frustratingly limited Jacob POV.  This canon story fills in all the holes that were left by SM -- mostly from Edward's detailed POV.

Enjoy a captivating look at the romance, emotions, music and imagery of Bella & Edward's honeymoon, the struggles of the pregnancy, the bliss over Edward hearing the unborn child's mind, the harrowing birth, and finally Edward's joy as he bonds with Nessie during Bella's transformation.

College professor Edward Cullen is thoroughly annoyed by his student Ms. Swan. Everything about her bothers him, and he longs for the semester to be over. But what happens when he meets her one night when they aren't in school? Lemons and naughty language

Summary:

Robert has two more days in London before he has to return to his hectic life in LA. He has no intention of letting himself anywhere near emotional attachment. Despite this, he finds himself unable to resist the brave invite of a beautiful girl at a nightclub in Soho, thinking it would be a one night thing only.
