Maybe Elspeth can learn to love her mother in much the same way as a child who is adopted at an older age might learn to love their adoptive parents. That would require Elspeth to give Bella a chance to act motherly towards her. If Elspeth thinks mothering is something she needs, she might accept it from Bella. But if Elspeth doesn't need or want that kind of relationship (maybe 5-year-old half-vampires can do fine without it) I see no reason why she should love Bella. She might also choose to have that kind of relationship with someone else, though it would be hard to find someone as enthusiastic and devoted to the job as Bella. And even though she doesn't love Bella, maybe she has some kind of impersonal goodwill toward her, and might choose her out of kindness.

I had the idea that it could be the opposite of Siobhan's power. So, rather than making plans he can break them. So if he told Siobhan what his power was she might be able to plan around it.

My guess was that he has Murphy's Law as a power.

When Elspeth destroys the bonds that Chelsea has forged she makes people realise that those feelings are false and to forget them, right? So to re-connect bonds that Chelsea has snipped would it not be possible for her to "remember the truth"?

So, if she said to Magic "I love my mother" it would be false at that moment but surely "I should love my mother" and "If not for Chelsea's tampering I would love my mother" would be true and could help re-connect the bonds, maybe?

(Do you think there are stubs of threads where Chelsea has cut, or if they wither away? With the stubs left it feels like it should be easier to re-connect them.)

Welp, that's my idea gone! XD

Back again having finally caught up with the sequel. Everything seems to be getting pretty serious...

This was going to be a longer post but I lost track of where it was going, although it was basically:

Yay! Not what we thought! Poor Bella, not knowing. Oh wait! She did know!! Moar plz!!!

(Multiple exclamation marks, the sure sign of a diseased mind)

DARN YOU!! Having just finished reading Luminosity I have now dissolved into a snivelling pile of salt water and mucus that you would probably be loath to poke with a stick. Definitely more crying when heard about Alice than Edward but then she's infinitely more likeable that he is...was...sniff

You should start reading the sequel right away; I think you'll be pleased with it.
