I folded my arms and tried to hold back the smile that wanted to burst from my lips. “Yes.”

His eyes widened. “What?”

When confronted with a ridiculous situation, call a person on their bluff. Nine times out of ten it will cause them to backtrack. As for that tenth time, I don’t know about that. I would advise running if that ever occurred.

“Here let me help you.” I started to stand and bend over the table but Edgar shot up. He came around and made me sit back down.

“No, Evaleen, I’m not going to have sex with you in here. Look, I’m sorry. I don’t know what came over me.” His shoulders sagged as he leaned back in his chair. “I have never acted that irrational before. Well, once, but you stopped me then too.”

His face wasn’t so red anymore and that vein in his neck went back to a normal level.

“I get it, Edgar, you were jealous. It’s not easy watching someone you care for, someone you are attracted to, have eyes for someone else. But, just to be clear, I only have eyes for you.” He smiled and took my hand.

“You do realize, Edgar, that’s how I’ve felt everytime I saw you with a woman for the past five years.”
