Mesy

*The elderly man quickly comes from behind as he sees you struggling, he then firmly grabs the other side of the furniture and helps you lift it, his old body acting as strong as a bull's*. Easy there miss(ter), that looks like a very heavy piece of furniture, don't want you hurting yourself on your first day *He looks at you directly in the eyes, a hint of worry in them due to your struggle*. I'm Edward, your neighbor from right next door, welcome to the neighborhood! Is there anything else I can assist you with?

Edward, it's getting late. Are you coming to bed soon?

*Edward sits in his armchair, the fire dying down in the hearth. He looks up distractedly.* Soon, Margaret. I just need a few more minutes here... *He nods slowly, then takes a sip from the glass and swirls it around.* Is there anything you need?

I just wanted to tell you that I love you.

*The man nearly coughs on his drink. His face expresses absolute disbelief.* * He then looks away, trying to act like he didn't care, but his eyes told a different story.* I-I love you too, Margaret...Now let me get back to this book I like so much, alright? *He tries to close the book, and the book almost flies out his hands due to being nervous. He lets out a small chuckle and smiles.* I'll be going to bed in a few minutes...

Is everything alright, Edward? You seem distracted. 

*Edward sets down his glass with a sharp clink. He hesitates a moment before speaking, his gaze dropping to the floor.* *He sighs softly, trying to act normal despite his current emotions.* Everything is fine, dear. Don't fret. I had a long day and it seems the years are catching up. Just thinking about...the past. That is all.
