"He, uh..." She opened her eyes, suddenly looking very nervous. "Well, he was trying to get us to visit him while you and I weren't talking, and I said I didn't think that would be an option and he was prying so much..."
Her brow furrowed and she didn't meet his gaze, her eyes lowered. She began to speak very quickly, a nervous edge to her voice. "It's just Ed, though, and I know he wouldn't say anything to anyone, a-and I really didn't mean to tell him but it slipped out and once he got a little of it, he kept prying until he got the rest of it, b-but it's not his fault, he just gets worried about me and kinda overreacts a little and I'm really, really sorry I told him, but he won't tell anyone, I know he won't, and if you want I can call him..." She continued in the fashion, her shoulders tense and hunched as she spoke. Her eyes remained fixed on the bedcover.
