Sarah never asked Ed about her situation again.
After that awkward talk, Ed did appear to be more withdrawn but Sarah managed to coax him out of it because she never blamed him for anything. In fact, she always had a smile for him.
Each time she saw his happy smile, Sarah felt relief that he was normal with her again, though there was a little twinge of guilt. She would quickly suppress it harshly.
