    Summary

    After the traumatic events in Italy and still reeling from the pain of being abandoned by Edward, Bella realizes she is not ready to take him back yet. Instead Bella and Edward embark upon a tentative friendship.

    Still, dark forces and a charming Jacob Black are circling, making being friends easier in theory than in practice. Can their fragile relationship bloom into this new form, or will stubborn teenage wills and unchanging vampire minds ruin everything?

    A story of growing, making mistakes and finding your way back to each other.

    Eclipse-ish rewrite. Alternating BPOV and EPOV. Bella/Edward will always be endgame but there are twists and turns on the path of love.
