'I was alone with a person, well creature that had destroyed a vampire. He was as dangerous as Carlisle had said. Surely, I should feel more afraid.'        But she wasn't.  Heheh!  I said these two had potential for friendship.  I imagine Seth could be a good influence.        :)

  '"The good doctor also agreed they would be properly supervised." Sam also modified his tone, but he wasn't being swayed.'        Sam, playing along with the diplomatic pleasantries?  HAH!  That was unexpected.  And interesting.        :-]

  'We travelled back to the house in silence. Jasper didn't let go of my arm. I tried to wriggle free a couple of times, but his grip just tightened, and when I glanced up at him his jaw was set and his eyes were hard flints.(...)  I resigned myself to facing the wrath of Rosalie.'        Now, that wasn't fair, was it?  Jasper himself let her go alone to the cottage to retrieve the book, and she simply bumped into Seth.  And they were getting along so well...

  I wonder what Bree will make of it when she understands Rosalie's special interest in her.

  Again, Lizzy, you show a good mastery with words.  You portray your characters in a coherent and interesting way.  Well done!

Author's Response:

Thanks so much for your comment about my writing. It had me doing a little happy dance.  Jasper knows he took his eye off the ball and the consequences could have been dire for the family.  So he's a little mad at himself as well as Bree.
