a
"Life Support" by shadowed by passion

When the laptop of attorney Bella Swan refuses to work, she seeks immediate help by dialing the number of her company's tech support. Her call is received by Edward Masen, who manages to log into her computer and begins fixing her problem right away. While doing that, however, he can't help but being utterly fascinated by the voice he hears on the other end of the line and loses every coherent thought when he sees a photo of her; set as the desktop wallpaper. This woman is breathtakingly beautiful and talking to him; a fact that maneuvers Edward right into a full blow panic attack. From an early age, Edward has never been good with people and has neither left his house for seven years nor let anyone except his aunt Esme touch him. Anxiety attacks forced him to withdraw from life and to suddenly meet someone he genuinely cares about is something he just doesn't know how to deal with...
Bella feels drawn to Edward the moment their conversation starts on the phone. When he's more and more unable to hold up a normal conversation, she doesn't hesitate and makes sure he gets help as quickly as possible. From then on, she makes sure to keep in contact with Edward via email as she simply can't get him out of her head - he is a real mystery to her but immensely fascinating at the same time. When she finally manages to visit Edward at home, she learns more and more about his psychological disorder. Yet instead of pulling away and leaving him with his family (he doesn't have any friends), Bella feels drawn to him and unable to let go. She is willing to help him get better and does everything in her power to give Edward his life back. Unfortunately, the young IT expert thinks very little of himself and can't believe that anyone would want to spend time with a mess and weirdo like him. It'll take all of Bella's patience and love to convince him otherwise...
When I started reading Life Support I had no clue it would focus on such a serious topic. In fact, I thought that the way Edward reacted to Bella in the beginning was pretty cute and funny and I couldn't help the small grin that came over my face. To say I was surprised, even slightly shocked, to find out the real reason for his nervousness, would be an understatement. As someone who has some experience with that kind of sickness herself, I can only say that shadowed by passion did a great job in portraying the difficulties that come along with it. Cases like Edward's are relatively rare but they exist and it takes the support and love of friends and family to help these patients get better. Bella is incredibly sweet in this story, giving Edward all the time he needs. Feather light touches and sitting close to each other are already tiny milestones for the two of them. It takes a while for Edward to be able to hold her hand and even kiss her without fainting. But Bella doesn't need all that and she and Edward fall in love with each other before they haven't so much as slept in the same bed together. Life Support is a wonderful story is written from Edward's and Bella's POV. It will get you thinking and won't leave your mind once you put it aside!
