James’s head whipped to his right and he smiled seeing Edwin. “Edwin… Hey, uh, I’m just doing a night patrol. What are you doing out so late?”
Edwin smiled and set his book full of paperwork and files in Jamie’s arms, who was absolutely eyeing James down. Stepping forwards, Edwin tucked a stray piece of his hair behind his ear and spoke.
“The night is the only time it isn’t too busy inside to get my paperwork and figure out orders and inventory.”
“Ah, that makes sense,” James answered, relaxing from his normal patrol stance and fully facing Edwin.
Edwin nodded before looking back to Jamie. “You can take the car back, I think I’d like to walk with Mr. Granton,” he said with a smile.
Jamie’s eyes widened slightly and he hesitantly nodded. “Okay- if you’re sure- please just be safe,” he replied as he carefully began to inch towards the car, not taking his eyes off the pair.
