Your P.O.V :

Another day, another case. I thought walking towards the desks of Detectives Jim and Harvey to share with them some things that have come to light on this case. Followed by Edward to help deliver the news. We always work together on cases that were handed to us. We make a pretty great team, and I always enjoy his company as well as the riddles. So I never have complaints about work. Now that I think about it I love my job; Mostly because I get to spend time with him. But lately I've been getting more and more nervous around him. To be honest I've had a massive crush on him for the longest time. However, I'm aware of his feelings for another coworker, Kristen Kringle. I know I'll never be anything more then a friend to him, but I can dream. But I would never let my feelings interfer with my work, but more importantly I would never want to waist an opportunity to spend time with him. I really do enjoy his company. But the reason I'm getting more and more nervous is because I see him constantly running after Kristen, trying to please her. And instead of her taking it kindly and leaving that as it is she decides to be cruel and throw whatever he does back in his face, telling him he's weird and odd. Making him feel so out of place and so unwanted it kills me. I always hate seeing him sad. When he's sad I'm sad. Sometimes I want to just walk up to her and tell her off infront of everyone, making her feel just as rejected as he feels, but I can't. He doesn't know how I feel about him and with him constantly trying to go after Kristen and with the same end result I get sad, and he notices and tries to cheer me up but doesn't know what's wrong. That's why I'm nervous. I've gotten close to spilling the beans but I don't want to ruin anything. So I stay silent. I make up excuses just to spend time with him. I would never want that to go away because I told him how I feel. I'd rather us be friends then never seeing him at all.

I shook the thoughts out of my head as we got to Jim and Harvey and started filling them in on what we found. Once Edd and I were done sharing the information we gathered and telling them where we would look into next, I started heading back to the lab. I was never one to stay in the main room for long and I knew that Ed was the same. I turned around to start a conversation with him when I realized that he wasn't following me. Instead he was quickly walking towards Kristen who was in the middle of the room. I sigh knowing that this wasn't going to be good and followed him as a distance like I always do to lesson in and see if I need to intervene but I can't. I know esdropping is rude but so is she and I just want to catch him when he falls. When he got to her I stopped a little ways away near the wall and lessoned. "Hello Miss Kringle." He greeted her with a smile causing her to turn around with a rather unimpressed expression. "Oh it's you. I believe you left this on my desk." She said with a rude tone as he took some files from her letting her plop down a cupcake with a napkin on top of it on top of the files.  causing some of the cupcake frosting to get to his lab coat. Edd seemed to ignore it and continue to have a smile on his face as he spoke. "It's a riddle!" "It's a cupcake with a live bullet sticking out of it."She pulled the napkin away showing the red velvet cupcake. Edd looked down at it and smiled. "It's a riddle!" "It's menacing, and weird and inedible!" She stated coldly before crumpling up the napkin into a ball and throwing it on top of the folders he was holding. Then abruptly turned and walked in the other direction in a repulsed manner. His face quickly dropped into a blank almost sad stare. "Thank you for the files Miss Kringle." He thanked as he stood there. I looked down saddened before gathering myself and heading back to the lab.

Once I got back to the lab I started to work at me desk and not soon after Edd quickly walked into the room and to his desk which was right beside mine. he seemed to be very deep in thought. "What took you so long?" I asked trying to play dumb to see if he wanted to talk about it. "Oh I was just . . . . getting some things." He explained a little down. I silently sigh and look over at the cupcake. Such an easy riddle. "The cupcake is sweet. The bullet is deadly. A beautiful woman is a dangerous thing. . . Who was that for?" I said with a smile when I saw that he was pleased that I answered the riddle but when I asked who it was for his expression went back to serious.  "I left it on Miss Kringle's desk and she didn't get it. In fact I think I offended her. So I think I'm going to write a letter expressing my apologies and  admorations for her." He admitted pulling out some paper and preparing to write. "But Edd you didn't do anything wrong. Your left something on her desk that was playful and light hearted." "Yes but she took offence to that." "That's her problem. She just didn't get it-" "I'm still going to write the letter regardless." He said frustrated as he turned back towards his desk and started the letter. I just sigh knowing I can't convince him and continue with my work.
