A Rough Start, Ch. 19

It is always fascinating to find out what path brought people to where they are today, and Edward is no different. We now know why he is a bit hardened and that he is possibly struggling with being a parent, because he hasn't had one in a long time. It is always interesting to me to find out how and when friendships are formed. We see that Jasper might have been his first true friend, Emmett too, which is why he is so loyal to them.

I love that you are taking things between he and Bella slow. When you date a single parent, you date their kid too, whether you want to admit it or not. Bella recognizes that, and is trying to make this transition into a relationship easier for the adults, and Anthony too.

I hope Edward's meeting with Esme gives him some closure. We shall see.
