Eesh! One becomes absent for a little while, and things pile up!  You are on a roll.        :-]

    '“Fine, I'll help you stretch your legs if you help me stretch mine,” she purred, and I don't know how the blood I'd drained from the bobcat stayed down.  Fred looked like he was using his nauseating gift on himself.'        *chuckles*

“It's not as simple as that.”  He paused, as if searching for the right words.  “Even if what I'm assuming is true, I'm not sure if she wants to be like your mother, or if she just wants someone to mother.  If I were sure it was about you, I'd be less worried.”        Subtle, but meaningful.  Very well put.        :)

  'We were friends, but it felt like more than that, to me at least.  Could we just become brother and sister?  It's wasn’t like we could adopt each other or anything.  The Cullens all called themselves brothers and sisters, but as they all seemed to be married to their siblings, I couldn't see that working for us.'        Nonsense.  Of course they can adopt each other.  They don't need to do exactly like the Cullens.

  “I'm trying to see if I can project the feeling through my scent.  See if I can make following my scent have the same effect.”(...)        “Thought about it, but your scent was kinda hard to follow.  Did you take to the trees or something?”        That was an interesting idea.  Really, a creative use of his gift.        :)

  *sigh*  I was hoping they would adapt to the Cullens.  But, if it comes to that, I'm glad they have each other.  Let's see how things will unfold.

Glad you're back.  I love seeing the bits of the chapter that made you laugh or want to comment on.

I thought there would be something more to Fred's gift.  Especially as he could not just keep people away but stop them looking at him too.

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review and for your compliment about my writing.  Thanks also for your suggestion, but that would make the story quite dramatic and that wasn't what I had in mind.  I've never written an dramatic piece, maybe I'll consider it in the future.

Rosalie was setting herself up for a huge disappointment from the get go.  I can't see her changing Bree's mind.

Thanks for sharing your talent!  :-)

Edward did try to warn her.  Rosalie doesn't know Bree's making plans, she's too busy making plans of her own.  Rosalie's plan is in the next chapter.
