The Dominant, ch 28-31
Because I am still trying to un-bury myself it wonderful updates from vacation and death, this is a culmination review of Ch. 28-31.
The snow storm chapters were so fascinating from Edward's perspective, because they are full of such doubt and self-loathing. It is interesting to see in this part of the story, though Bella is the submissive on the outside, she is the Dom emotionally. To counter that, while Edward is still exuding externally the Dom facade, he is the one desperate for guidance.
Chapter 30 was so emotionally powerful from Edward's eyes, it was almost heartbreaking. To deny yourself romantic love your whole adult life, and then to find it in a place your rule book dictates it doesn't belong, would be earth shattering. Then to finally allow yourself to let go and dare to dream to have everything that would guarantee your happiness. I can't imagine the immense weight that lifted from him in that moment.
Of course, all euphoria is an arc, and there is a down to the climb. Chapter 31 was like watching someone you care for step in front of a bus in slow motion. Part of you feels like there is something you can do to stop them if you say the right thing or move quick enough. Then you are struggling to comprehend why they feel they don't deserve life (or a life of happiness and love, in this case). You don't want to watch, but you can't look away.
Now for Chapter 32... ::reaches over holding Tara's hair back and soothingly rubs her back:: Go ahead, bb. I'll see you through this one.
