Bella found the field of wildflowers purely by accident when she went riding one day. She did not expect to meet a certain blue-green-eyed man there, nor did she expect to fall in love with him. He broke her heart in that field, but he had also mended it.

This story was written for CharTwilightMom using her specifications (and throwing in some of my imagination) in the Easter Bunny Twilight Fic Swap Event. It was changed to Jasper/Bella pairing with her permission as I thought it would work better this way. Thank you for the prompt, hon, and I hope that you like this final version of the story!
