Don't know why, but I'm still doing this...
Postscript
"Edward."
With a jolt, he shakes out of his daze. An awkward smile crosses his face as he nods politely to the innkeeper. She watches him go with a dissatisfied and concerned look.
It has been so long since someone has called him that.
His boots echo as his feet slap the pavement; his head echoes as thoughts flood his mind.
"Who do I remind you of? Is it your mother? Or perhaps…a girlfriend?"
No.
The sun is setting against the backdrop of the city.
Not exactly.
She looks up from her duties momentarily, long enough to glimpse his silhouette striding further and further away. From his eternally predictable actions, it isn't hard to deduce that he's no longer used to being called by his full name.
It's not like it matters anymore.
The last person to call him "Edward." Long gone, but never forgotten.
"No, Edward. I won't forget about that."
A/N: Well, when I get on this track, I just can't help myself (I know I always say that). This one comes per-request (or idea) from Kanashii.Umi. I always have to clarify some things with readers, so I'll get them out of the way before anyone asks.
(Just kidding, I'm not stupid enough to think anyone would actually review to ask)
Wanted to get descriptive, but I needed to keep this short. Sorry. The "he" is Ed, obviously. The "she" is Gracia. The city is Munich. The thoughts are Ed's. The last quote is from Lust. So, the secret's out. Yes, it's a post-Cos EdLust. Sorry. As for the title...well, they're Ed's musings on Lust after he ends up here, kind of like a mental PS. And we all know PS stands for postscript. I might do another ExL later with just his real thoughts, but not for now.
If enough review, the next one might be an EdWin. I'm considering not doing romance at all for the next one or next few ones, but I'm not sure. Even though you won't review, I feel I'm doing my part by asking. So please, do me a favor and leave even a small review (especially for #8, it's my favorite).
