A Shocking Revelation

Frost: Jedd... you and I have known each other for a while now and honestly, you're a great guy. You have no idea how many times you've cheered me up when I was struggling and honestly, knowing you was like a blessing in my life. I like you too, but not in the romantic sense. I'm very sorry about it but I still hope that we can meet in person at least once... sorry for being selfish.

Edward read the message a few times and closed his eyes. His hands shook and he ran the possibilities through his mind. Scarlet still wanted to meet with Jedd even though she couldn't return his feelings. Would she be mad that Jedd was someone she knew?

Instead of taking the plunge, Edward played it cautious and decided to send a probe to find out how Scarlet would react to the revelation. If he came on too strongly and suddenly like declaring he was Edward in front of her, he honestly couldn't predict how Scarlet would react. Hence, he went for the mild approach.
