Nothin much to tell. Wife. Mom. Daughter. Teacher. Students. Closet Twilight fan fiction addict who might actually leave her husband if Carlisle were real and single--even though he's a bit old for me. I try not to date guys over 250, but for him I'd make an exception.

Summary:
Bella Swan never thought she would return to Forks after leaving in 9th grade when her parents divorced. She remained in Arizona for college, medical school and residency, pushing herself towards an unknown goal. When she heard that Jacob had died in a motorcycle accident, Bella returned to Forks and to a world of old ties and new opportunities. The Cullen Retreat was recruiting for a new psychiatrist and Bella found herself accepting the job. Perhaps returning to her roots would be just the asylum Bella needed to find herself. But the founders of this mental health respite were quite a mystery to Bella and the people of Forks. The most intriguing part of the job was not the opportunity itself, but the benefactor’s youngest son Edward. He seemed to ensnare Bella’s thoughts and decisions from the moment she arrived....

Title: Chapter 23: Holidays and Honey
Peanut butter on waffles? You must be from the west! I'd never heard of that until my friend married a guy from Utah. Folks in my DH's Texan family do that too.
I really do love this story. Thanks for all your hard work on it!! Author's Response: Not me VicC, but one of my friends I met online, who helped push me to write this, is from Texas. We always joke about her love for PB on waffles, so I threw that in there just for her!
LOL
it must be a west thing!

James is a toad with a diploma mill degree--or you should make him one just for me. Author's Response: VicC!

Title: Chapter 11: Idleness and Insomnia
James should give up medicine and try something he's more suited for--like selling used cars on late-night commercials. Ick.
I enjoy reading your story and wonder what's up with Edward. I have so many theories, but I'm not sure what's right. Author's Response: James is definitely like a used car salesman!
haha
good comparison ;)

I don't trust James, but I don't think it was him calling. It might, however, be that lady (and I use the term loosely) with whom he was...cavorting..at the retreat. Author's Response: thanks for the review VicC

I think Bella's uncertainty is so authentic. You really portray the way a mom would feel in a new relationship. Author's Response: Thank you so much for your kind words - as you know, I strive to keep this story realistic, and it means so much to me when I hear that you think it reads that way.
Thanks for always taking the time to read and comment!

It made me bawl--partially because I'm a hormonal mess right now and will miss your story and partially because it was just that sweet.

Title: Chapter 32: Chapter 32
The last paragraph--the proposal--left me sighing like a teenager. The whole evening was so sweet and tender. Author's Response: I'm so glad you enjoyed Edward's special evening for Bella. He wanted to make sure their last night on the Island was memorable.... and I don't think Bella's going to forget it any time soon! :)

I love the reality of the story--Bella's fears, and Edward's too--and I absolutely ADORE the humor. I'm the only one I know who would run into an ex (boyfriend, no ex-husband thank goodness) on a first date.
More people should discover your story. It rocks! Author's Response: Thank you so much for continuing to read and offer your feedback - I always look forward to your comments!
I'm glad that the humor reads funny in the "real world" - I never know if it's just funny to me, or if other people will think so as well. And thank you so much for your kind words - I really, really appreciate your support.
Thanks for reading!
