Liked the chapter. Poor Edward, hiding his own shame. I look forward to the next chapter - whenever you get to post it. Enjoy your trip!

Nice chapter. You made me smile in Edward wanting to ease Bella's pain by telling her story to Carlisle: he's really come a long way himself in this story, hasn't he? It seems he's always had a strong ethic about the treatment of women and girls because of his experiences when he was young with his Mother, but he's definitely put himself more on the line.
I knew the Cullens would only want to support and help them - nice turn that they found an "acceptable way" to help Edward and Bella.

So glad you're happy with how Edward handled things! Thanks so much for reading and reviewing, I hope you like the next chapter!

Well that wasn't asbad as it could have been. I'm proud of Edward for holding back, not jumping to conclusions and judging Emmett based on his actions and words. He could have easily stayed in that insecure, jealous frame if mind, but he kept his love for Bella I'm his mind and acted appropriately.
Next chapter - the cemetery visit - should be difficult for both B&E. Good luck with the writing.
Destroyed and scarred by a turbulent childhood, Edward Cullen is consumed by pain. Enter Bella Swan, intent on helping him recover in a way he never thought possible. Trying to save her from his cruel world, he forces her into the arms of another. OOC/AH/M Dark Themes

So yeah. Edward's utterly bleak past, present and future are simply heart breaking. The images that stay with me from this brief chapter: Edward lying on the train track with a wry smile on his face; that little boy peering through the open door as his mother is brutally killed; and finally Edward huddled on the floor staring at the bottle of sleeping pills across the room, "waiting for him" as he resists sleep and the seductive "pull" of the peace that botttle of pills can bring him.
