Edward stared at her, eyes wide in surprise.

"Did you just say yes?" His heart beat quickly.

Kim, though she didn't express herself very much, looked deeply comfortable.

"I... I don't know," she managed to say.

Pause.

"That's fine," Edward assured her, although still disappointed. He shouldn't have gotten his hopes up. They'd just met...

"I am so happy you came back," Kim smiled gently. "I am tired of being left alone."

Edward grinned, blushing. "Yeah, well, you're welcome. I can always come again. And get to know each other better?"

"Yes."

Another awkward pause. He gestured a goodbye with his hand, then continued to walk towards the staircase. Just after a few steps, Kim tapped him extremely lightly on the shoulder.

"Hm?"

Kim's cheeks reddened a little. "Sorry, but what is your name?" She asked.

"Edward Boggs," he replied with a chuckle. "Suppose that's important to know."

And with that, he finally left. Edward's friends followed closely behind. Kim sighed worriedly, repeating the name in her mind.

She knew he was trouble.
