Bella, who has been married to Edward for a few years, finds herself being someone she doesn't want to be. She used to be the girl with the many one night stands, who enjoyed sex and had lots of male friends - some with benefits. She used to pride herself in not being prude about sex and never judge people based on their sex life. Now she panics when Edward snuggles with her at night, and she cringes from his touch. She avoids him as much as she can. She clearly remembers she used to love him, but she has forgotten how it felt. She looks at him now and feels nothing, and their relationship is falling apart. Should she try to find the love she used to have for her husband, or should she let go? These questions force her to take a journey within herself. What will she discover? Thank you Bellabee66 for making this banner! Visit her blog: www.bellabee66.com
