"You have the same look Edgar has when Sally and Caleb are together. Do you not like seeing them talking?" Alessandra asked Reed after Jeanette left her for a moment. She caught Reed shaking his head at Sally and Caleb many times.
"They should just fuck-I mean," Reed paused as he didn't think his language suited her. "I'm sorry."
"I'm married to Edgar, Reed. I'm sure you know how blunt his mouth can be. You can speak how you want with me.

"They will figure it out," she added, choosing not to meddle in what will become of the two.
Reed stared at his brother following behind Sally like a big stupid dog. The fool was already smitten but didn't want to admit it. 'What is different from the other girls?' He wondered, trying to make sense of Sally.
