“Oh,” someone says and Phoenix glances up to find Edgeworth lingering like some sort of vulture. His face is screwed up like he’s being burned by their proximity. “I didn’t mean to intrude. I just… don’t have a car right now.”
And you don’t have any friends to call either, Phoenix fills in easily. Because you salted and burned every bridge in existence. Typical Edgeworth.
Maya’s eyes sparkle as she glances between the two of them.
“You can come too, Mr. Edgeworth! Phoenix promised he’d take me boating out on Gourdy Lake,” she says and Phoenix’s head snaps around, lightning-quick. When did I promise that? And why does Maya think it’s a good idea to invite him, of all people, especially after the day we’ve had?
