I don't think it was a terrible move on the Cullen's part. They're still trying to protect her. Bella was the one who insisted from the beginning that she wanted to be changed, and they acquiesced - she's the one who reneged. What could they do?
I am looking forward to meeting Lila. *rubs hands together* I remember Lindsay from your last story, and I liked her. Let's see what Lila brings to the table. LOL

Thanks for the review, bb! I've gotten some mixed reactions, though most think the Cullen's did what they had to. Even though they might have their own purposes.

And yes, Lila... I'm feeling the pressure. lol I liked Lindsay, too (yay, I can create a likeable character of my own!), though Lila is still in the early stages. ;) Thanks for reading/reviewing!

*points to comment*
All of that, please.
And I like how Leah and Bella are becoming... well, allies, I'd call it. Though Leah calling Bella out on shit she did out of heartbreak will forever make me want to tell her, "Honey, I'd like to remind you that the kettle and the pot are both black, whichever way you turn it."

Anyways, looking forward to the next chapter. Really looking forward to it.

Thanks hun! And yes, I would call it allies right now, too. There's a lot of hypocrisy going on for sure! It's easy to point the finger at others than it is at yourself. But hey, Bella's got a backbone now. She might point that out. ;)

She might point that out. ;)
