"Edward is fine." She clambered to her feet, not looking at Faye because she didn't know what her face was doing. Faye-Faye was really good at reading Edward's face (not that it was ever hard), but she didn't want Faye to see this. Because Edward didn't know what it was. She felt something. She felt something a lot, but she didn't have a name for it and it might be bad and she didn't want Faye to think that it was bad about her because...

...she would leave.

So after a moment, Edward smiled. She knew she could do that. Do it good enough maybe to fool Faye when she looked up. "Ed is fine."
