Restoration, Ch. 29

You could physically feel the weight lift while reading this chapter. When you carry something so life altering on your shoulders alone, it can hold you down in ways you don't even realize. This was that last bit of trust that Bella had yet to give Edward. Now she is completely bare to him.

I am so proud of Edward to keep his comments and anger controlled and just be there and listen. Asking calm questions and embracing the woman he loves who has swam through a river of emotional shit and come out the other side.
