A little over 100 new words today. Picking up where we left off before:
"He's right, you know," Linda said, the hint of a smile playing across her face.
"About what?" Edward climbed over the stile, then turned and offered his hand to assist Linda.
"You. Over-thinking things. Although," Linda paused, evidently considering what she planned to say. "It is good to see you trusting someone else to take charge."
"I trust his skills." Edward was aware Christophe was outpacing them, but also mindful that Linda had gone over on her ankle earlier, and wasn't doing as good a job as she thought at concealing her discomfort. She'd need to ice it as soon as she got out of those sturdy walking boots. "And there's no need to smirk at me like that, either. Say what you mean, why don't you?"
"You like him. He's good for you."
"Christophe and I go way back," Edward said. "But I can hardly expect him to settle down, just because I've got some stability in my life these days."

"Have you asked him?"
