Vidalia smiled back, her eyes warm. "You don’t have to thank me. Just… don’t forget to take care of yourself, okay?"

The bell echoed through the hallways, signaling the end of lunch, and students began filtering back into classrooms. Edward and Vidalia found themselves back in Economics class, both of them still shaken from the tense cafeteria encounter.
