Oh this story is cute. Going to see if the sequel has been started

I loved this story so much. Thank you for writing it!

He can not regain his hearing in adulthood, he can perceive sound by medical intervention but can never understand it this late in his life.

Charlie not good enough for your story. Rene the child neglector gets in your story. Wow writers really like the neglectful mother Rene. Sense Charlie is not in your story and the child abuser is I am done with your story.

Where is the sequel?

I think I read this so very many years ago that I was still so new that I was not reviewing yet. Too chicken to put my thoughts out there. I looked for my reviews before jumping in but, it seems I have read this. He definitely really likes her. To buy her a dress and take her dancing, when he cannot hear, is so meaningful. Then, I think, he was about to make his move and they got bumped. Very sweet, these two.

The bottom part of this chapter felt familiar to me. Now, I am wondering if I've read this before. The braces part at the top did not seem familiar at all though. He definitely likes her. I could tell from actions in this and the last chapter. However, that moan and leaving the room. That part told me he is attracted to her. She has no idea though and that is cute.

Very sweet beginning. I can tell that he loves her too. I am thinking neither wants to tell the other, for fear of losing their friendship. They will gain so much more if one of them says something. Esme has to see these two have much deeper feelings than either is letting on. One day, those feelings will come out. At least I hope so.

I love this story but was the sequel ever written?

I am back for a reread because I absolutely love this story!

He was GENTLE, not GENTILE. LOL.

It's WHOA, not WOAH.

Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful story. I loved every single word, every single chapter of this. Your writing, as well as the story's plot was awesome, and it pulled me in with the just the summary. Reading the summary meant reading the first chapter, which meant... well, it just meant that there was no turning back after that. Such a pity you pulled the sequel. I totally was so excited about reading it... Well, i guess that's life.

i can't believe i didn't get it before... why edward didn't seem happy at the news...

i couldn't help but cry at this one. i don't know how Bella is going through this so bravely...
