"That was fast."

"You hurt her, I swear to God –"

"You'll what?" Ed asked, standing. "Like you have any right to threaten me."

He opened his mouth to protest, but something stopped him. If he was completely honest with himself, he knew that Ed was right.

"Take care of her," he said quietly before disappearing down the hall.
