"If I met you back then, I would've courted to you. We'd have taken chaperoned strolls, or had iced tea on the porch. I may have stolen a kiss or two. But, only...after asking your father's permission. I would've got down on one knee and I would have presented you with a ring." - A short and sweet and quite possibly cliche re-imagining of Edwards proposal to Bella in a different time, place, and world.

Bella's failed emails to Alice narrating her darkest thoughts and feelings finally go through and Alice reads them. When she learns of Bella's deep depression she returns to Forks to help heal some of the damage her brother has done to the beautiful, fragile human the entire Cullen family had come to love. But Alice's presence in Bella's life leads her to not only heal the hole in Bella's heart but to change her heart completely. --- (COMPLETE)
