I'm thinking you've had the whole dejabrew thing and can relate, as I can! Well I'm glad that Edward was able to turn you into a puddle of sentimental goo. He has that effect on me too. I will just say that I enjoyed reading your thoughts but I'm staying mum on the subject of the morning after. You'll have to wait for the next chapter, and perhaps the one after that, and maybe even another, depending on your requirement for depth of satisfaction. And hopefully the alien goo feeling has not permanently scarred you :p Thanks for your comment.

Yay! I love your enthusiasm! Nope, no alcohol blaming. I think this Edward has an intuitive side when it comes to Bella. He's very aware of the need to push her to get her to open up while still being cognizant of Bella's limits. I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter and thanks for the comment!

My original write of that chapter, I ended it with Bella leaving, none of the part with Alice. That was definitely a poor Edward moment. I hope the Alice part made it a little less depressing. Your observations of Bella are spot on. She would crumble if he seems hurt/crushed/defeated, and there's also the same chance that she would internalize it and think herself incapable of having a relationship with Edward without hurting him. Are you in my head? ;o) In this case though, she does neither. (Did I make you curious LOL?

"oh woeful child. she needs to get a grip and so does the 107 year old baby. it hurts! get over it!" - I love your insight. She definitely needs to get a grip and he needs to...well he pretty much needs to keep doing what he's doing ;o) They are definitely mismatched in terms of their emotional pain with regard to losing their parents. You make a very smart point. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I enjoyed reading them. 

I'm not sure if you've mentioned, but even if you have, it's wonderful to hear all over again! Thank you so much. I enjoy being able to switch view points because I can get my foul potty mouth out with Bella and my nerdy intellectual out with Edward.

Bella needs a bit of time to wrap her head around the whole situation so she can open up further. You'll be even more pleased with her in the upcoming chapter where she continues to take chances with Edward.

Edward turns me into a fangirl too, mush from head to toe. I had that hair scene in the quad in my head for days after I wrote it.

I think we all have someone in our pasts that couldn't take a hint or made an ass of himself. Mine was a Rob not a Mike and I still cringe when I think of him. I suppose this chapter was a reflection of my irritation towards him too LOL.

You assume correctly! Thank you for bringing my attention to my horrible typing. The fingers work faster than the head most days. As always, thnk you for the lovely review! I enjoyed hearing your thoughts.

Yes this chapter was a little bit heartbreaking. I suppose I designed it that way to illustrate how fragile Bella is, and how little it takes to get her to give up, or how hard it is for her to trust and believe. It's also important for her character to make up her mind about Edward once and for all, and the next little bit of the story focuses on that. Bella's thought process is pretty simple actually, and the next chapter shows her thoughts and her struggles to cope. As always, thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. I always enjoy hearing them.

I'm smiling because you're happy now. Yeah, just the eensy teensy weensy vampire thing. No biggie ;o) Bwahahahaha. I think that is the bestest comment ever about Bella! Very OOC Bella-esque! Well done! Do you think she has commitment issues? ;o) The vampire thing is a ways off. The next part of the story is very Edward and Bella-centric, (not that the entire story hasn't been) just them being happy and getting to know one another. Thank you for all of your support on the story this far! I appreciate it!

Well now you've got me curious as to which way you would have preferred, for Alice to show Edward the vision or not? I didn't think about the New Moon connotations because I know where the story is going. I agree with you, OOC Bella would not be forgiving or accepting of him leaving. I don't think she'd survive it. I don't have a New Moon scenario planned for this story. I added the vision as a link to something in an upcoming chapter. Hopefully I didn't ruin anything for you by telling you. I just didn't want you to worry. Thanks for the comment!

Thanks I'm glad you liked it. Yep, you posted just after the new update went up. I hope you enjoyed it. Thanks for the comment.

I'm curious what you think the part at the end was too, the part you referred to as "a perfect bit of...not fluff." Please tell me if you were right when the next chapter goes up. Thanks again.

I got you on the first three, but what do you mean by "vampires mechants?"

Neither Bella nor Edward has realized the other is as broken as they each are. Edward concentrates on his self-loating rather than focus on all of the things about him that Bella has already accepted. Sometimes he needs a smack! And I agree, if the Denali sisters can enjoy physical love with a human, why not Edward? Thanks for the comment and the answers!!!

I'm pretty sure OOC Bella is incapable of making things easy on Edward LOL. Not really...she's just a tiny bit broken, and it's part of her charm :o) I hope the next chapter deliver's Bella's mindset with the power that is intended. It's a big chapter in terms of understanding Bella in general, but in particular how she sees things with Edward. I hope you enjoy it. Thank you for the comment. I really enjoyed reading all of your thoughts.

I love you. I've been sitting here waiting for a review. You my dear are review number 1000. YAY!

I meant you're going to punch me for teasing you about knowing answers and refusing to answer questions or give too big a hint about things, which I admit that I honestly deserve sometimes LOL. It's too much fun to read eveyrone's thoughts for me, and sometimes I have to fight not to answer things out right and constantly remind myself that I don't want to spoil it for anyone LOL. I'm a goofball.

So that's good if you're not going to punch me, but I give you the right to reserve a punch if you ever feel the need. Thank you for number 1000 Love!!!!
