Take The Cake, Ch. 23

I think all of the characters of your story are finding their well worn paths deviating course. They are finding their solitary existences no longer provide satisfaction. That someone has woven themselves into the fabric of their lives and are cold w/out them there.

I love the way Jasper challenges Alice. He pushes in a round about way that doesn't seem intrusive but simply the whispering of ideas.

I sense a large shift is coming soon. Alice might be striking out towards her own dream. Edward is finishing his novel. Bella is learning to live outside of the walls of her store.
