@Nzolamosi 1) Edward has a bit of a soft spot for Bella because he sees her as a genuinely sweet, innocent girl and he can't stand the thought of her 'suffering' in any way. She's the closest thing he has to an actual 'friend', aside from his family.
2) Yes, she'll likely try to distance herself from our nosy Edward lol! He'll have good intentions, but he can be a bit overbearing at times LOL! So, she'll definitely be leery
3) I'm not sure yet! There will be some relationship drama between Rikki and Zane, but I'm not sure yet if it will involve Sophie or Miriam, to be honest.
4) Yes, you're right! Sophie will see Bella as the 'lesser of the evils' hahaha!
5) I'm not sure if Eva will warn Bella about vampires or just give her an ominous warning about the future of Mako. We shall see :)
6) I imagine Eva to be in her early to mid-twenties
7) If it comes to pass, the initial meeting between Bella H and Bella S will be very awkward lol! I'm sure Ms. Chatham would like Hartley :)
