“I guess I should get you home…â€? Chris says.

I nod and we get into his car. I have him drop me a block from my house, insisting on walking and saying I was just over Claire’s house.

“Hay!â€? Edwin yells when I walk in, his happy puppy look breaking my heart.

“Hi.â€? I say, forcing a smile and kissing his cheek. I can’t wrap my mind around what just happened with Chris… the way he made me feel, so I’m distant. I chat with Edwin for a bit, hanging out like good friends do. I sigh as I realize I feel nothing at all when Edwin strokes the back of my hand.

“You want to go to the movies with me tonight…?â€? Edwin asks suddenly.

“Err… Sureâ€? I say, smiling at him.

“Great! I was thinking maybe… the new Bond movie?â€? He says.

“M’kay.â€?

“We’ll leave at 5:30 then.â€?
