Okay, late late late reaction, but I was on holiday. Or well, I'll use that as an excuse for not commenting.
Anyways, I love the Charlie/Bella development (EW THAT SOUNDS INCESTUOUS BUT YOU GET WHAT I MEAN EH?), and as for Jake: as much as I, in these kind of stories, like to see both Jacob and Bella being sorry, instead of Bella always just groveling to get back with Jacob. I do not like Bella at the end of Eclipse, I'll admit that (ha, as though it wasn't clear), but it always takes two to tango and I never feel justified when all Jacob thinks in fics is "omg she should apologise let me and the entire pack just be an asshole to her because she made the wrong decision at eighteen and is now finally trying to get back on the right track". Exactly what I'm saying here, she's trying, people, so give her a chance. But eh, it's part of the coming back process in these fics, so I'll have to go with it.

Leah... You don't always make sense to me. But I do think you're gonna be allies, if not friends, with Bella in this fic.

I did hope that Lila turned out to be his pet unicorn, just because of my Barbie film experience.

Hey, on holiday is a good excuse! You can have a pass. ;P

And yes, I know what you mean (because, yeah.. ew, incest). I love writing Bella/Charlie!

I know what you mean about Jake because he screwed up, too. His problem with Bella goes back to her giving him up for Edweird. It makes it a little harder.. with pride hurt and all.. and the whole death thing and her not confiding that in him. But I agree.. she's trying, so it makes it harder that they're so tough on her!

Leah is quirky.

And I totally was tempted to make Lila his pet unicorn just so you could have your Barbie experience back. ;) Thanks for the review!
