Poughkeepsie, Ch. 61

I have to admit, that I didn't react to all that happened in this chapter as I had hoped too. I think it has been too long since we were last with Bella and Edward. I felt a little emotionally removed from these characters. I wanted to feel the panic of choosing between saving Edward personally or calling for help. I wanted to be crushed at the thought that he was dead, but I don't think you will kill him (though I don't put it past you to prove me wrong). I was just emotionally absent. It's not you, it's me. ::wink::

I thought Mike was a perfect shift of the insecure man. They will go to no length to hang on to whatever hill they are king of.
