Definitely getting better but what amazes me is that I'm not frustrated for them to move along and get over their issues already! With all that baggage they both carry this needs time and your pacing is fabulous! Charlie is still No.1... well, after Jacob... and the rest of the wolf-boys but you know what I mean! LOL
Great work! Love, Tunde

Thank you! And yes, I know what you mean. ;) lol I'm glad the pacing works, too! They're progressing, but I know everything is still in a bit of a tangle. :)

How could I leave him again even if I wasn't going very far?
Am I alone in thinking that people are pushing the guilt-issue a little too far? Because for all of the times her dad, Jacob, the wolfpack, encouraged her to break free from Edward, to be her own person who lives her own life, they're basically saying "yeah, but you can't ever ever leave again because that would be selfish and mean". They told her to live, and now everyone's pulling her down again, save Leah. Why?
Edit: as I'm reading on, everybody is supportive of her having her own life. Apologies.

Being with Ethan had reminded me of Jacob.
Oh. No. Don't tell me she was into him because of Jacob-feels. That's never good.
I hope we'll meet this Ethan again. He seems like a genuinely nice guy.

I would say she was partially into him because of Jacob-feels! Though she did understand and get that he was a good guy. And hey, nothing is impossible. :)
