Chapter 35

You’re too young to know any way out
And you were drinking long before anyone had time to show
No one knew this day was sad for thinking
But then a fading trend in it if anybody really wants to know

We have tough breaks
We have people to face
We have time
Before you have to feel that again
We have fire on our burnt skin and it will heal
Before you have to feel that again
I will help you mend

No one saw the statue in the road
Or that the fallen wind was cold
And you didn’t tell them all you have seen
 A true mark if you would only hide in me
And I still couldn’t set you free
Or pull the only person back you would be

We have tough breaks
We have people to face
We have time
Before you have to feel that again
We have fire on our burnt skin and it will heal
Before you have to feel that again
I will help you mend

There’s nothing left along but the feeling of falling
 But I will be pulling you back
There’s nothing left along but the feeling of mourning
But I won’t let it find me again

We have tough breaks
We have people to face
We have time
Before we have to feel that again
We have fire on our burnt skin and it will heal
Before we have to feel that again
I will help you mend

Merry New York Christmas
Christmas in New York is quite beautiful. I have included Central Park, Macy's, Radio City Music Hall, Rockefeller Center and of course Stout's Bar.

New Year's in Times Square
Not sure I would want to battle this crowd but I think if I could hang with Helios and the crew I would totally do it!

Chapter 30

This is what our lovely Helios and his Bella are wearing. I don't know who did this manip from Cannes but I love it. Thanks Leeanne for having it on hand :-)

21 Club
Perfectly positioned in midtown Manhattan, '21' is in the center of it all. A short walk from the Broadway theater district, many of NYC's leading hotels, and top sights, this iconic Orient-Express restaurant offers superb American cuisine, a Grand Award-winning wine list, and attentive service in a setting that is sophisticated yet fun.

The Orchid Room
Sleekly sophisticated, the Orchid Room is the newest option for private dining at '21'. This is an homage to the orchid, with live orchids surrounded by thirteen large silver-framed pen-and-ink drawings of the flower by noted botanical artist Francesca Anderson.
The Harbor Room
The Harbor Room has a distinctly nautical flavor. '21's fine collection of ship paintings by Antonio Jacobsen are a main focal point of this lovely room as well as a remarkable painting of the great cross-Atlantic steamer, Normandie - the ship that was mysteriously sabotaged while docked in New York during the early days of World War II.

The M Bar is the quintessential New York venue for classic cocktails and live music, featuring a domed skylight, mahogany bookshelves, Beaux Arts lighting, and comfortable lounge seating, creating an intimate and elegant atmosphere reminiscent of days gone by.

Chapter 28

Alec will be played by Alex O'Loughlin from Hawaii Five-O, what can I say he's a hottie, thanks Amanda for the suggestion, you always help me pick out the best evil doers, hehehehe
And our lovely, bitter, bitch of a mom will be played by the one and only Madeline Stowe. I just love her and yeah, after Revenge I can see her as Bella's ice queen of a mother.

Chapter 26

1 large ripe fragrant mango
2 tablespoons each red and yellow bell peppers, finely diced
1 tablespoon minced Serrano chiles
1 tablespoon minced cilantro
Juice of 1 ripe Mexican lime


Peel the mango and cut the flesh away from the seed.
Chop finely, and mix with the remaining ingredients, adding a few drops of lime juice to temper the sweetness of the mango.

I would give my world to lift you up, 
I could change my life to better suit your mood'
