"If word of me going into the red light district gets back to everyone on the estate, I'd like to request you clear up why I was there," said Caleb.
Edgar opened his eyes and looked at Caleb sitting across from him as the carriage moved. "Why? Is it to make sure the woman you claim to have no feelings for won't judge why you are there? Silly me, I thought there is nothing to clarify if there are no feelings involved. Confess your feelings so that she can reject them and let you move on. Your one-sided love story bores me to the point of no return."
Caleb once again did not see why anyone thought he liked Sally. The woman was just fun to be around and he considered her a good friend. "I do not have a one-sided love story," he replied.
"Hmm. I should make this pathetic crush you have interesting by placing bets with others to see how long it will take you to realize your feelings. The longer you wait, the bigger opening you make for someone to snatch her away," said Edgar.
