I still have a huge lump in my throat from B&E's talk. That broke my heart into a million pieces. Your writing is hynotic, and I can't wait for more.
Please post asap!
Author's Response: Thank you so much. I'm very glad you are enjoying it. I wanted Bella and Edward to have some time together, before it was too late. Please keep reviewing for me. Debra

Title: Chapter 14: Chapter 14
I absolutely LOVED Bella's rant at the airport gate. Every word she said to Edward felt like another stab to my heart. By the end, I was in tears. "Bella was shaking, first with rage, then fear fading into devastating sadness. He could see himself in the reflection of her eyes, but he was no longer standing in an airport. They were once again in those woods, on that horrible day.” – GORGEOUS WRITING!
Of course Bella had to reach her breaking point. After all that she has been MADE TO ENDURE, the poor thing just had to reach her limit. Her cup runneth over.
She should be hard on Edward. The family must react in shock to Bella’s admissions, as they themselves are oblivious to what he did to her. All in the name of protecting her. Emmett’s reaction was perfect. I would love to see more of that from the others. But in the end, please don’t let Edward suffer too greatly. I just can’t stand the thought of a suffering Edward, or Bella for the matter.
As for Legeera, I hope she battles and wins her way out of Volterra. May there be a grand reunion in Forks. And my B&E finally find their piece of Heaven. EACH OTHER.
Author's Response: Thank you so much for your thoughts, you are very kind. I'm so glad this chapter was loved as much as I loved writing it. Yes, Edward has to know what happened when he left, so does the family, so more to come on that. I have to torment them a little longer, lol. Thanks again. Debra
Summary: 
What if Fate gave you a second chance at love? What if you had the opportunity to start over? Would you take it? When an attacker leaves Bella close to death and with no memory, can Edward save her from himself and the assassin before it's too late? All Human.

Just beautiful chapter. I especially loved Bella's reaction to Edward telling of his gunshot wounds. It was a very natural and instinctive response to the very idea of losing Edward. I pray that we soon learn B&E's story. The suspense is killing me, but deliciously so. Please post more asap!

Oh Edward, you deserve this and more.
Just when I began to feel sorry for you, when I began to resent Liam, when I began to question Alice's motives, I decided to go back and review the hurtful words you said to Bella.
""I'm sorry I led you on. But it's not going to work between us because-" he stopped, forcing the next words past the lump in his throat "-- I'm not in love with you anymore." Edward forged onward. "Those two people and their relationship are in the past - an ended chapter." He paused. "I'm sorry."
Yes, Edward. You deserve this and more, if only for a little while.

Since you like the Hayley aspect so much, visit this thread and maybe you can get a few other reader's insight into who she is.

Title: Chapter 24: Chapter 24 - Gravity
HOT DAMN!
NOW we're getting somewhere! WOO-HOO!!!!
Usually I try to write more eloquently and give a serious review. But this chapter just let me all kinds of goofily excited.
I WOO-HOO AGAIN!!!!!
Summary: 
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.

Title: Chapter 24: Forever
This is by far one of the best EPOVs of Bella's change after having Renesemee I have ever read. It was beautifully emotional and suspenseful.
And I really can't wait to see what you've got in store for an Edward/Jacob throw down! WOO-HOO! Author's Response: Thank you so much! Your words were so very kind. I am an emotional junkie --- never knew it until I started writing Twi fanfic though. I was surprised. It sounds, from a few reviews, folks want an angry Daddyward to give Jake a smackdown! Who am I to argue with the public!!
Summary: Summary: AU. A powerful group of humans know of the existence of vampires and werewolves and strict rules are in place for the uneasy coexistence between the three kinds. Transforming humans without tacit permission is banned and all violators and victims are ordered destroyed. Bella was attacked when she was eight years old but miraculously survived. She returns to Forks during her junior year in high school and encounters the Olympic Coven. Against her will, she is drawn to Edward Cullen and into the dangerous world of shifting loyalties and deadly intrigue.
Thanks to JO (Cullenitis) for the AWESOME banner!
Thanks to another JO (sleepyjo at ffnet) for reading and editing the first 13(!) chapters.
Please direct your thanks to her for saving you from the whiplash that is born from my confused tenses and wonky grammar.

Title: Chapter 14: In the name of synchrony
Wow. I am sooo addicted to this. This is just all kinds of hot and yummy. WOO-HOO!
Summary: A long and tiresome journey and a wrongly booked ticket later, Bella Swan finds herself sitting next to renowned actor Edward Cullen and learns that whether flying coach or first class, karma gets her way.
Exerpt:
“Well… that’s embarrassing.” I looked up in the direction of the male voice that was responsible for the comment and nearly died. Nearly. Instead, I shrieked and flung my glass of champagne right in the lap of the owner. I was clearly hallucinating, because the man sitting next to me could not possibly be… I closed my eyes and opened them again. But he was still there a slightly uncomfortable look on his beautiful face as he retrieved my glass from his lap and inspected the damage to his trousers.
“This is a new reaction,” he mumbled all the while I gaped at him and glanced at the magazine checking whether he had jumped out of it. But Edward Cullen was still gazing at me from the page, his eyes hypnotising and in addition the exact - slightly displeased - replica (with perhaps a bit more facial hair, and clothes) was undeniably sitting in the chair next to me.
“I’m so sorry!” I finally managed to croak out when I remembered how to speak. Before I could thoroughly think it through I grabbed a napkin from my backpack and dove to dab his pants. He was not the only one who jumped up as my hand came into contact with his crotch.
“I got it,” he said louder than I had heard him speak so far. For a moment he cast me an exasperated look and I almost felt the need to ensure him I was not trying to feel him up. He held up his hand as a stop sign and snatched the napkin from my hand, still hovering over him. I wasn’t sure whether he was mad or embarrassed. I was too busy trying to sink through my chair in shame.

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw you updated! WOO-HOO! I've loved this story from the very beginning and am absolutely THRILLED you're back on it! I Woo-hoo again!
This chapter was very interesting in that we got to finally see into Bella's mind and understand her fear of falling for Edward, more than she already is.
I absolutely loved that they both drove to each other before the break of dawn. Romantic, emotional, wonderful.
I am ecstatic that this story has found it's way again to us, and am so thankful to you for continuing your masterful work. I cannot wait to read more.
One more time 'cause I love it THAT much....WOO-HOOOOOOO!!!!! Author's Response: Thank you!!! :DDD I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Summary: Bella Swan, a young registered pharmacist from New Jersey, takes a job in the Forks, WA Regional Hospital, determined to start her life over. She meets the handsome, brooding Edward Cullen, who also works in the hospital's pharmacy...but on the night shift, of course.
Will Edward be able to control his agonizing thirst for Bella's blood? How will the emotionally wounded Bella react to her increasing attraction to him? Can Jacob be effective as a minor, if consequential, character? And most important, can Serendipitous refrain from the gratuitous use of hokey questions to attract readers?
Huge thanks to the talented and generous Anne Cullen for the banner!
Canon pairings; the Cullens are still vampires. Edward's and Bella's ages are advanced to their early-mid 20s, to give them more adult sensibilities. Other than that, the story parallels "Twilight," with some new adventures in line with the characters' ages and situations. The chapters alternate between Edward's and Bella's POV. While it's not a *funny* version of "Twilight," there are definite sparks of humor in it.

"There were tears in her eyes, but she was smiling a little. I couldn't know for sure, of course, but she looked like a woman in love." - I loved this. I truly, truly LOVED this. Oh Edward, you're finally learning, Love. Finally learning. Author's Response: Aw, you get a big (((HUG))) from me. And, of course, an Edward chair! Where would you like me to send it????
Thank you, thank you so much! I appreciate your kind comments. It motivates me to get crackin' on that next chapter!

Title: Chapter 1: Prologue: First Sight in Chicago
I loved the imagery of Bella chasing the ribbon as it floated away in the air. Almost as if it were being blown away by God himself to lead her to Edward. Sigh....
This is going to be a really good one. I can already tell.
MORE PLEASE!
Author's Response: Haha thats very much like the way I pictured it in my head too...as if fate arranged their meeting and the ribbon went to him on purpose. I just love Edward and Bella!

Quick question: did the Spanish influenza just never happen in your story then?
Author's Response: I've been wondering if I was going to put the spanish influenza in my story, also. I've come to a pretty interesting conclusion, so keep reading because its a surpirse, but yes, it will happen.

And now I'm dreading Edward's return home. Are his parents alive? Did the Spanish Influenza claim them? Oh my heart breaks for him.
Please post more asap. Hopefully I'm reading this all wrong. Sigh....
Author's Response: Gosh Wow! Your comment makes me blush! Thats really sweet =). I love reading a wonderful piece of older litterature because every sentence flows like poetry, I'm pretty ammature, but its nice to hear my words flow, too, in some sense.
As for your theories, as I've said before: everything happens for a reason.
Watch for some important hints in future chapters.
I'm posting as fast as my computer can possibly allow. The next chapter will be up soon, though my beta is on some sort of vacation. Don't worry, I'll get it up soon.
Thanks for commenting, and continue! Love to hear from you all, especially the nice ones!

I am so thankful to you that you didn't kill Edward's parents. But I am curious about their returned letters. Is that issue laid to rest now? I couldn't tell.
Hmmm, the Red Cross? Is she being recruited or something? But I truly hope that before anything too horrible happens to B&E, that they're allowed at least some form of happiness. Wedding? Honeymoon? Just a little? Pretty please?
I can't wait to read more. Please post more asap!

Title: Chapter 8: Chapter 7: Why Only Enough?
Each new chapter is more beautiful than the last. This one is no exception. I really find it interesting how it is Bella that is leaving in this story, all be it against her will. Edward will be the one to wait for her return. Those 2 months will undoubtedly be one of, if not the most trials of their love. But seeing how passionately you write their love, I am confidant that they will prevail.
Side note: I had NO idea that volunteering with the Red Cross was more like enlisting. Was that the way it was back then? You had to serve your full term or something? Just curious. I just never knew that.
Please post more asap. I really love your story. It's positively enchanting. Sigh... Author's Response: When you joined the red cross during WW1, you had to work for the amount of time you enlisted for. So if Bella signed up for 2 years of service, no matter if she goes home or not, for those 2 years they can sent her back and forth as much as they want. And that pretty much sux since its all vollenteering.
Thank you for your lovely compliment! As I create each chapter, I'm perfecting my writing style, so I hope that they're getting better.
Thank you for commenting! Keep reading!

Title: Chapter 20: The Piano Bench
This chapter was all kinds of delicious (oooh the chocolate!), exciting (love the broken bed!), and so surprisingly in the end, EMOTIONAL. Tears escaped from my eyes in reading Charlie's plea to Edward for him to take care of his Bella. That was beautifully written. And so I hope that in the closing chapters and epilogue, you will reconcile Bella seeing Charlie again in some form or another. That's one thing I always appreciated was that S. Meyer kept Charlie in Bella's life after her change.
Charlie was the first man in Bella's life to love her devotedly. I hope she doesn't lose him forever.
Beautiful chapter. Author's Response: As twisted as it sounds, it makes me so happy that I could make you shed a tear or two, thank you so much for telling me that!
Thank you so much for reading!! *MWAH*MWAH*MWAH*
Summary: Bella's injuries in the ballet studio were severe. This is the story of her recovery-from the hospital, back to Forks, to her return to school-and how Edward copes with it. All told in Edward's point of view. Angsty with doses of fluff. Enjoy!
