Then it dawned on her. There must have been some kind of rumours or something going round previously. Just because she was sheltered from it on this floor, properly due the status of her husband, it didn't mean Edward had escaped that.
She smiled at his kind words, still thinking about they were covering. She nodded at Brian in agreement. "Its been a while, and whilst Edward was doing his rounds, I invited him to stay for a flapjack."
As he was explaining, he looked over to Alina and she looked a bit puzzled. He put his hand on her arm and asked, "You ok?"
He nodded as she told the details of his visit and grinned, knowing that he had nothing to hide from Brian or Theo or anyone.
