I hope one day you finish this story

I get that Bella is seeking out normalcy and stability in her life; which is important when coping with such a devastating loss, but she shouldn't just let Riley back in after what he's done to her. Bereavement or not, he still cheated on her and hurt her. I feel like she's giving him an unfair advantage over her. Who's to say that he won't throw it back in her face in the future, when she's not in need of him anymore? Moreover, the first meeting was very cute and well executed. Can't wait to see more of Officer Cullen. Hopefully Bella will learn to cut away the diseased parts of her life as she heals. I love the story! :)

you should really update this story its really good thanks

I LOVE THIS STORY SO FAR. LOVED THIS CHAPTER. I LOVE ME SOME OFFICER CULLEN. CANT WAIT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT. UPDATE SOON!

Update PLEASE! I want more Officer Cullen!

Such a sad chapter, but having officer cullen in this chapter makes things brighter. I am a little iffy when it comes to Riley, don't know how I feel! I can't wait to read the next chapter!

I do like Rene even in her grief. Bella is trying to cope, so she is excused for her bad judgement regarding Riley. She wants to feel "normal" hence the unhealthy limbo relationship with Riley...I get it. I'm just afraid that when reality knocks it will so so with a vengence. The first meeting with Officer Cullen was not at the best of times, so not very memorable in a good way. Thanks for sharing.

Such a cute first meeting!

I cannot believe Riley showed up!

And I love the nicknames. So awesome.

He cheated on her and she still is treating him like this? I dont care that she is grieving! Tell him to go f#ck himself!

Never a fan of Riley with Bella. Hope that doesn't pan out for too long

I spent my day sneaking around reading your story! Gah it is so so good. I don't know how I had missed that you had started something new. I was a very big fan of Waiting for Dr. Right and am thrilled that you know have this! There is so much raw emotions within these chapters. As much as I don't like when Bella or Edward are with other people; I do feel bad that Riley hurt her. She seems like she could have been happy with that idiot. I am very curious to see how Bella and Edward's relationship begins and evolves to something more.

I love your Renee. She is such a mom- something rare in the fic world. It breaks my heart that Charlie died so young. But I do like where you have us heading. The dynamics between Bella, Rosalie, Angela, and Alice is so sweet. Can't wait for the next chapter :)

Well... we all know Riley is going take advantage of her. Edward of course is an OK guy.

Thanks!

Oh my gosh, I LOVE that Luther song, so sweet, sad and beautiful and perfect for this chapter. Officer Cullen is too adorable and the story he told about the prank Charlie pulled on him, I think that was exactly what Bella needed to hear. I have a feeling the whole 'Im seeing someone' thing was a ruse to get out if being set up with the Chiefs daughter. As far as Riley, I don't like him and I don't trust him one bit. I think the only reason Riley showed up is out of guilt, perhaps his parents made him go or he wants to keep Bella around in case things don't work out with Victoria. I just hope that someone is there to pick up the pieces when Riley dumps Bella and by someone I mean Edward.

Thanks for the update, looking forward to the next chapter.

Great chapter

Why did Riley have be there , I'm with the others he should just sent a card him being there is just confusing for bella
