aww another beautiful chapter. i love how Alice and Renee bonded and talked clothes even after they came back. totally sympathise with Bella though, i hate clothes shopping. and i love Charlie's reaction about everything, especially accidently seeing the girls' intimate moment lol. poor Alice! but i have faith that she'll be strong enough to control herself, if only because i wanna see her bite Bella lol. speaking of vampires and smells being their trigger, i have to deviate and ask whether you've read Kim Harrison's The Hollows series? It's got loads of supernatural creatures. Ivy the vampire totally wants Rachel the witch! all these subtext/occasional maintext are making me a happy reader. it even mentions a book on how to date a vampire lol. i'm hoping you'll write an epic fic on these two. :D
