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?"

Good question! Some guys never think of that!

Edward isn't sure he wants to know the answer.

As someone with chronically weak ankles, I sympathise with Linda here. I like her point - but I like Edward's, too.

Thanks.

Linda is chasing around the countryside after two tall blokes with some degree of training in moving quickly over uneven ground. It's not surprising she stumbled in a part I haven't posted :-(

Linda matchmaking! Interesting.

[stevie-carroll.livejournal.com]

Linda wants Edward to stay happy and settled, because everyone's life is easier that way. So it's logical to push him into making his mind up, rather than have him angst over Christophe.

Ah. I'll be awaiting developments the rest of this month.

Kudos on new words! I like Linda poking Edward to open up here.

[stevie-carroll.livejournal.com]

Thanks on both counts.

[elmey.livejournal.com]

Ha, Linda is matchmaking, can't resist the temptation :)

[stevie-carroll.livejournal.com]

It's for the good of the estate, don't you know? ;-)

[nineveh-uk.livejournal.com]

Ask him??? Good God, he couldn't do that, far too sensible ;-)

[stevie-carroll.livejournal.com]

And he'd have to do something in response to whatever the answer was ;-)

[sallymn.livejournal.com]

Edwad is being very cautious here...

[stevie-carroll.livejournal.com]

He is indeed.

[jenn-calaelen.livejournal.com]

That is a good point of Linda's - and it is good to see Edward making sure she looks after her ankle as well.

[stevie-carroll.livejournal.com]

Linda definitely has the right idea there -- but it may take a little more persuasion for Edward to take such perfectly sensible advice, even when he's paying attention to her in other ways.
