An awkward silence ensued after those softly spoken words. I don't know how to diffuse the tension that was suddenly emanating from Edison in large waves.
Bryanna looked at me pointedly as if urging me to say something in response to Ashton. But what could I possibly say in this situation? I mean is there even an appropriate response to what he said?
Jeff was also feeling the sudden tension as he started squirming in his seat. He of all people knows Ed the most and I think his tension is an indication that I have to act, and act fast.
"I don't think that's relevant right now, Mr. Kempt." I responded honestly to what he said. What happened to us before has nothing to do with what is happening to me right now. I felt Ed's tension starting to dissipate with my words. I can't help the guilt that I felt though, as I saw pain flashed through Ashton's face.
