“You’re in such a good mood,” Edwin commented, after watching him flirt with their waiter.

“Why shouldn’t I be? Aren’t you?”

“I’m in a fine mood. I just…I don’t think I’ve seen you smiling like this since the night we met.”

“That was only a week ago,” Carson pointed out.

“Then I don’t think I’ve seen you smiling like this in the last week.”

“I haven’t been this happy since last week. I didn’t lose my job, the movie was good, this food is great, and you’re here. I don’t need anything else.”

“I’m not that great,” Edwin said.

“I think you are.”

“I think you are too. Just for the record.”

“Then why aren’t you in a good mood?”

Edwin blinked. “Who says I’m not?”

“You just don’t seem quite…happy right now. Are you still tired from the other day?”

“No, no. I’m not. I’m just…”

“Have you been sleeping?”
