Edwin leaned his back on the side of the table. His right foot rested to the left of his other foot, and he crossed his arms over his chest while waiting for her to speak.
Edwin could hear how loud her heart was pounding, the way she was biting her cheek and her fingers fidgeted with her dress showed how nervous she was.
