What a wonderful story! I’ve loved it from the beginning to the end :)

Just found your story and enjoyed it very much.

Enjoyed before... loved it a second time around. Thank you for sharing your words. Meg.

It's kinda annoying that in Bella's head she thinks she's changed and she's not this meek little girl anymore but really she still is she can't stand up for herself and uses Edward as a crutch. She honestly stayed the same throughout the entire story it sucks to see you write opportunities for her to confront her past bullies but the she doesn't do anything.

Great story!

Thanks for sharing.

Great story but seriously what is with all the drinking? It sounds like she has a drinking problem with her needing a glass of wine all the time.

the pace of their r/s is at the speed of light,at least the physical aspect of it, it's nice but the emotional aspect is lacking and it's kinda getting boring honestly

Thank you for a great story. I will look forward to anything else you write.

I just found your story and am enjoying every chapter even though I should be working! I am glad Edward is sensitive to Bella's insecurities although I wish she would confide everything to him including her trepidation about Jessica and Lauren. I am looking forward to their date.

Great little story. I'm glad Bella took the year to follow her dreams, now she at least knows that she gave it her best and it would have given her a chance to come out of her shell a little more without Edward, which I think this Bella truly needed.

I think I'd be rightly put out by Edward producing blueprints to enlarge the cottage without discussing their long term future first. To have had the plans drawn up this is something he's obviously been discussing with others - but not with Bella. I couldn't help but show my disappointment if I were her; that others would know what he was thinking and planning, yet he hadn't mentioned this once - bizarre to me! She has given up her full-time riding future for them to be together and all he's committed to is enlarging the cottage they're in?! Poor form Edward, give the girl a bloody ring man! LOL

A few answers here - so Tanya is Edward's P.A. If that is the case I don't understand at all why he puts up with her totally inappropriate behaviour, just fire the girl and get her out of your life man!
Bella finally finds a pair and has her say, well done! I hope she does manage to keep her head up and stand up for herself - the past is over, gain control girl and move on to be a stronger woman.

I feel this chapter was one of contradictions. Bella tells Edward she is not weak and feeble and that she is a strong independent woman, and yet what we are seeing in the story is the complete opposite- this Bella's character is weak and feeble (rarely speaking up for herself, even amongst her friends; continually allowing others to belittle her and intimidate her) and although she may live alone, she is very far from independent (she is continually running to Rose for emotional support and works mostly alone to avoid people).
And what's with Edward and Tanya? She has been on the scene right from the start; Edward has stated that he's always trying to avoid her, yet when he travels she is in his room, has access to his phone and he knows from last time that she tries to cause mischief for himself and Bella. If she is an employee surely her actions are cause for her to be reprimanded at least, if not terminated. If she is a fellow work colleague surely he can make other arrangements and not work with her?!

What is with the men in this story and their winking?! LOL, it's almost as if there is some secret winking code going on here!

I am really enjoying this story, they are both a bit clueless in some ways. I'm finding it hard to believe that Edward is so inexperienced with women, his actions say otherwise. And what is with the winking?! Seriously, I want to ask him what the heck is wrong with his eyes. Once or twice would be ok, but he is always winking at her, in nearly every situation! That would put me off no end!
