After fifteen years of marriage, Bella and Jacob are going their separate ways – Jacob into the arms of another woman. Everything is changing, and Bella isn’t sure how to move on with her life. When she meets Edward Cullen, sparks fly, but can she take a chance? Or will her insecurities keep her from pursuing what she really wants?
I have to say I am impressed with how Sarah handled hickeygate. I just might have to take her off of my shit list. I'm hoping Will's views will change in time. Bella has as much of a right to be happy as Jake.
Author's Response:
I appreciate you continuing to take the time to read and comment on my story – your feedback means more to me than you could ever know!
Glad to know that Sarah's slowly redeeming herself in your eyes. Will doesn't mean any harm - he's just worried about his place in all of this. And at least Bella's figuring out she's got as much right to happiness as anyone else - a couple of months ago, she probably would have just rolled over and said forget it. Seems as though they're all growing up.
As promised, here’s your teaser for Chapter 16, which should post this weekend:
His voice quieted as he sang the chorus one last time, his eyes only on me.The applause startled both of us, and he mumbled a quick “thank you” into the microphone.Edward waved to the crowd and stepped down from the stage even as the applause picked up for his performance.He waved off the waitress who approached him with his usual post-performance drink, and ignored the calls of people wanting to speak with him.My breathing was rough and excited as he stalked across the bar toward me, a predatory gleam in his eye.Ignoring his brother and our friends, he reached down, grasping my hands and pulling me from my seat into his arms in one fluid movement as he crushed his lips to mine.
Hope you’ll let me know what you think of the update when it posts.Thanks for reading!
I was so proud of Bella for putting that skank of a waitress in her place. I say the more lemonade the better.
Author's Response:
Thanks so much for reading & commenting - I love getting your feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed the update - confident Bella at the bar was fun to write... as was sexy Edward at home ;)
Next chapter should hopefully post this weekend - I hope you'll let me know what you think of it when it does. Thanks so much for your continued support!>
Go Bella! Who knew she had it in her? After all those years of unsatisfying sex i'm thinking she is going to wear Edward out.
Author's Response:
Well Bella certainly didn't know she had it in her (LOL that sounds terribly dirty - I'm guessing she did know ;) Wonder how quickly Edward would wear out.....
I'm glad to hear that you liked the update. It was a heck of a lot of fun to write!
Chapter 18 should post within the next week - you'll have to let me know what you think of the morning after... :)
Thanks so much for reading & reviewing - your feedback always makes me smile!
I think we all should be so lucky to have those kind of breakfasts. I'm glad Jake finally agreed to let Sarah go to the dance. Shopping for the dress is so exciting.
Author's Response:
I'm so glad you enjoyed the update! I would have to agree - breakfast with Edward may just be my new favorite meal :)
Writing the scenes with Bella and Sarah were a lot of fun - nice to get those two back to "normal"
Thanks so much for taking the time to read and comment - I really appreciate it!!
I'm assuming he got into it with Felix. I want to know who let him in the house in the first place. I would have thought the kids would have gotten her up and had her come upstairs. I have to say something about his trip to Portland seemed kind of shady. It seems like he isn't telling everything. How did his phone manage to get turned off? I hope he isn't fucking her over by keeping quiet about something that he shouldn't have. I can't wait to find out. I thought Emmett was hilarious. I love him.
Author's Response:
I can tell you that the answers to most of your questions will come in Chapter 21. Glad you liked Emmett - I've missed the other characters!
Hope you'll let me know what you think when the new chappie goes up!
I guess i'm just not trusting by nature, but Edward really has me worried about whatever it is he's hiding. I hope it's not anything major. It would be better if he fesses up without her having to ask. I was glad that the kids didn't make a stink about him showing up at the house. Who knew sporks could be used as a deadly weapon?
Author's Response:
Bella's not forgotten that he promised full disclosure, and she intends to make sure that happens, once they get him well again.
I have to share credit on the spork idea with my beta, Iadorepugs. She offered it as a solution in a different situation, and I thought it ws too funny not to add here :)
In lieu of my regular weekly posting I'll be posting the first EPOV on FFN by the end of the week. I hope you'll wander over there and let me know what you think :) After that, I'll be back to the regular posting schedule.
Thanks for always taking the time to read and comment - I always love hearing from you!

She's desperate for a job and grabs the first thing she can find working at Forks Pharmacy with none other than Edward Cullen. Follow their budding friendship as it evolves into something more, where Edward and Bella discover a little something about themselves as well as each other.

I can't wait to find out what happened to Edward. It sounds like whatever happened put him in a dark place. It's a shame that Carlisle chose that time to talk to him. Definately put a damper on their morning.
Just when I was about to say Edward is really coming out of his shell Crowley shows up. I hope he will get to the point where he can open up to other people and express himself with confidence.
“Beautiful day, cute guy, hot coffee…” What more could a girl ask for?

Title: Chapter 7: Chapter 7--Wecome Back
I'm dying to know what Len said to Rob. I don't know how I would feel about my future mother in law questioning my fertility. I understand her reason for it but you would think she would have waited a little later to bring it up.
Author's Response:
Yeah, Annie wants to know what Len said to Rob, too! ;) Hmm, Momma P can be a bit direct, can't she? Anna has a lot to get used to with Rob's family. I think they'll have future conversations on the subject, for sure.
Thank you for reading and reviewing! I really love hearing what people think. It means a lot to me.
Cheers! Lattecoug

Title: Chapter 24: Chapter 24--Starry, Starry Night
I was so glad that Anna stood up to Nick. I realize he has a job to do but that doesn't mean he has to be a little shit about it. It will be interesting to see what Kristen has to say.
Author's Response:
Hey there! Thanks--I'm glad you enjoyed this chapter! Ah, Nick...he needs to chill out or he's never going to make it to the Breaking Dawn premiere in one piece. Hmmm, the meeting with Kristen will be interesting, but maybe not what people think!
Thank you for reading, and for reviewing. I SO appreciate hearing what you think. It really helps keep me going!
They needed that time in DC. I hope all goes well with Liz at dinner.
Author's Response:
Yes, they needed this time to reconnect after her injury and their long separation. I'm glad you enjoyed this chapter. Ah, Liz...dinner will be certainly interesting!
Thank you for continuing to read, and for reviewing! I truly appreciate it. :)
More on the way soon, Lattecoug

Title: Chapter 32: Chapter 32--Bonding Over Louboutins
I love how loving Edward's family is towards Anna. They seem to love giving her grief about her extra curricular activities with Rob. I'm glad she isn't intimidated by Kristen.
Author's Response:
Hi there! Yes, Rob's family loves to tease each other, and since Anna tends to blush easily, she's a prime target! But it's all in fun. Anna understands Summit's game with Kristen and Rob, and she's mature enough to let it roll off her back--most of the time. ;)
Thank you for continuing to read & review. You know how much I appreciate hearing what you think! Another chapter coming soon!
Hugs, Barb

Title: Chapter 8: Chapter 8--Meet and Greet
Michael seems to fit right in with the group. Vincent is all kinds of creepy. I hope Nick can deal with him. It is always about the shoes. Based on Rob's reaction Anna might want to consider getting Victoria a fruit basket or something as thanks. Tom, Bobby, and Sam are a hoot.
Author's Response:
Hey there! Michael certainly has a way about him. :) Hmmm, Vincent...I'm not sure anyone can deal with him. Could be interesting.
LOL! You're right about the fruit basket! Anna definitely owes Victoria something for those shoes. ;) Thank you for reading, and reviewing! You know how much I appreciate it! :) I'm so glad you're enjoying their story.
More coming next week!
Hugs, Lattecoug
