A/N: Thanks so much for all your wonderful thoughts.

Again, I love stories like these: where you guys get worked up and have such diverging thoughts. I'm having a ball reading them, so keep 'em coming. :)

Most characters belong to S. Meyer. The rest belong to me. All mistakes are mine.

First update of the day. :)

"Shelf the coronary. Someone's here for you."

"I've neither time nor energy for an in-person today. Postpone it."

"Mate, this in-person's come a long way, I think, and while his exterior's dishy," she whispers, "the bloke looks as bloody heartsick as you do."

She steps out…

And…Edward steps in.
