It Happened So Fast

Without hesitation, Edi smiled and headed to the back door on my side. For a moment, I was actually able to snap out of my daze enough to feel bad that I hadn’t thought to ask Aaron if he could give her a ride. The hospital wasn’t on the way to his place, but it wasn’t too far off. I should’ve known he wouldn’t have minded.

To my relief, I wasn’t forced to try to focus too soon because he addressed Edi most of the way, asking her about her internship. The distance to the hospital wasn’t very long, so Aaron hadn’t run out of things to ask Edi. Inwardly, I worried that the subject of our relationship might somehow come up.
