Dressed and ready, Marlene bounded the steps from the dorm to the common room, finding herself grow internally quiet as she came upon Edgar. She had expected Lily or even Mary, despite their lack of formalized plans for the day. How long had it been now that it seemed she cut their conversations short or acted as if there was no time to talk? Yet, it was too late now. Eye contact had been made. “Y’allright?” Welsh accident muddied any clear pronunciation, maybe even for the better, as she swerved around the couch to the exit.
