For a moment, a strange thought crossed my mind, which made my breath hitch, but the next second, I jerked that thought out from my mind, as my eyes lay on Edward, and before I could stop myself, the words spilled out of my mouth, "Let's talk outside."
No doubt, there were several problems surrounding me and my loved ones, but seeing Sophia in that state sparked something in me. I did not know whether it was sympathy or a strange sense of responsibility, but I could not look away.
It was as if her pain had quietly tied itself to mine, but to subsidize her pain, I need to know the roots of it. This was the reason I wanted to have a good talk with Edward.
Edward was facing mine, so I could not see his expression right away. The moment those words left my mouth, an awkward silence spread across the room.
