ahh fun times for B&E :)

I'm quite enjoying the way they've been able to keep everyone in the dark as to just how far they've gone with each other hehe

Although I can imagine a certain pixie vamp being none too pleased when she finally finds out - THAT should be a very interesting explosion ;)

As for Valentine's... hmm... bed of roses too corny?

haha I quite enjoyed that chapter! For some reason Bella's proportional-limited Powers had me immediately thinking of various role-playing and dungeons & dragons type games where you get the one-time spells to use :)

Jasper's reaction was good fun, even though Edward nearly got himself in a lot of trouble for not asking first. Interesting idea connecting the venom with friendship bonds... it seems quite logical considering a lot of vampire-lore has the sire-bond as a means for the sire to control their progeny to a certain extent. Not quite as strong as the Alpha-commands of the wolf pack, but still a noticeable compulsion.

Looking forward to more :)

Oh and as for Edward's bag... it's either some items he wants to surprise Bella with later, or... it's something he wants to "surprise" her with "later"? Or I could be completely wrong hehe

Oh I'll be surprised if James doesn't make at least ONE more attempt... it may have been a shorter chapter, but the tension is still there :)

always amusing to see B&E held apart from each other by Alice and the others. I'm kind of surprised Jane only got to the 50s in her attempts to attack Bella. Though I guess she didn't get that much time to try :)

As for which story next, I've been looking forward to finding out how B&E from your ongoing series are holding up, but Everlasting was kind of a cliffie!!!!

Not sure that chapter 2 would resolve that just yet?

It all really depends on how your muse is inspiring you :)

nicely done, for B&E at least :)
I'm sure Jane would not have been impressed with her power being used on her ;)

So much information for Bella to take in and try to acclimate to in such a short time. It was good to see her thoughts whilst watching Edward's Litany, though not so much when she decided that ultimately, she was worse than Edward for her single act.

Of course, I really liked Bella's last thought there. It's amusing that for eternal creatures, there's been something of a rush going on for the parcel of time that Bella's been "in the loop" on hehe :)

Nice timing there Edward! hehe

Some heavy moments there between B&E - wonder how things will go over the next few days for them :)

hehe loved Edward's happiness at Bella liking the flowers, and Bella's acceptance (maybe?) that Edward was courting her :)

So many possibilities for the reaction between the Monsignor and Edward though...

hmm "kissed by a miracle"; I think we all want that on some level? :)

Well I think B&E had some blessed relief finally?

It would also appear that Edward is thinking seriously of Changing Bella in the future.... assuming she's able to handle the truth of his existence.

Looking forward to the Vancouver trip :)

hrm I'm more than a little concerned at the Pack's thoughts and aggression towards Edward and now Bella... it's one thing to be against a "natural" enemy, but another entirely to be threatening/killing humans when you're supposedly sworn to protect them.

Looking forward to Bella getting a chance to calm down and think her way through all of the new information that's been thrust upon her.

Really hoping she doesn't freeze Edward out for too long, they've both got enough on their plate without adding an extended separation :S

Such a relief to see that Bella will apparently work her way through things back to Edward sooner than later :)

Wonder how that phone call is going to go....
