Dangerous Territory

Nighttime once again fell over Lavant Manor, moonlight casting its cool light into Edwin’s room and washing over his face as he woke up with a yawn.

“Mmm… Oh!” he startled as he looked over to see Jamie standing at the edge of the bed holding a tray of food.. “I wasn’t expecting to see you here, I thought you would still be infuriated with me.”

Jamie let out a soft sigh and looked over to Edwin. “You know I can’t stay mad at you, Edwin,” he smiled softly before setting Edwin’s version of breakfast down on the bedside table.

Edwin smiled back before sitting up in his bed and stretching. “I do know this, I was just worried I had pushed you too far.”

Jamie shook his head. “I thought so too, but after following your advice and looking at it from a different perspective, I realize that you talking to Mr. Granton was the correct thing to do,” he said as he picked up a quilt and began to fold it.
