Art After 5, Ch. 26

Once again, I love the intricate dance you do between mature-at-17 Edward, and truly 17 Edward. Edward in all his 17 year old insecurity and inexperience were alive and well at the birthday party this evening. He totally reminded me of the guy I dated my senior year of high school. He would lash out when he was feeling insecure as well. Perfectly captured!

Just when Bella was finding security in their relationship, his doubt tears her down. It is not her doubt in him and anymore, it is his doubt in her, which he has never expressed before now.

I am interested to see how this plays out in the next chapter!
