He did manage to explain everything to her eventually.
It took some time.
But to his surprise, Mary accepted it far more quickly than he expected.
In truth, it wasn't really her concern whether he was involved with someone else or not. And he hadn't actually asked her on a date either. She apologized for overreacting. She had simply been too shocked in the moment.
After dinner, Noah walked back toward the dormitory alone.
The lamps along the path had come on, casting warm light across the road.
He was almost at the entrance when he noticed someone standing outside.
He was Edward.
Noah's eyes narrowed.
'Why is he here? Is he waiting for someone?'
Edward spotted him and his face broke into a wide smile.
"Hello, my friend Noah! Could you spare a moment? There's something important I need to talk to you about."
Noah frowned. "What important? What you want to talk about?" Naoh questioned. Not liking the polite and friendly way of Edward.
