Hey readers. Sorry we missed you last week. Illnesses are a bitch, but we're back, and this one is a doozy! Buckle up for some difficult conversations. Bella’s birthday should have been a nice, quiet evening at home. Instead a next level paper cut sends Jasper into attack mode, Edward into martyrdom, and makes Bella into a ghost. Her newfound reason for living up and leaves - taking all of the evidence with him - and she’s sent into a major spiral. This episode is one of the darker ones, but we hope you’re here to discuss it with us! Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
