		<description><![CDATA[So many readers are appalled by Carlisle&#8217;s comment in the last chapter. In the context of wine tasting, it isn&#8217;t the blatant affront it seems to be. Most wine aficionados spit when tasting to avoid getting drunk, therefore retaining his or her palate longer. That Izzy swallows is somewhat unusual, and in that context, bears [...]]]></description>

That Edward has a half-brother is mentioned for the first time in Chapter Eight: He tells me about prep-school, his four years at Harvard, and how determined he was to attend a law school that would [...]]]></description>

He&#8217;s read Art After 5 and half of Counterpoint, but he doesn&#8217;t typically read as I write, nor does he usually hound me for updates then offer to leave me alone so I can finish a chapter. I asked [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I want to apologize to readers who read Chapter 45 when it was first posted. I&#8217;m not sure what happened in Microsoft Word when I accepted the changes suggested by my beta, but almost none of them were reflected in the document. It erased them, but then didn&#8217;t actually make them. Anyway, I&#8217;ve gone back [...]]]></description>

The death of Carlisle (Whit in my head) was always in my outline. Though it does give Edward a sense of urgency, that had been brewing beneath the surface for a while by [...]]]></description>

I could have used any deciduous trees to indicate the passing of time and the changing seasons. In fact, in early drafts I used elm trees, which [...]]]></description>
