Things had been looking up. He'd been in a really good mood lately. Going out with a fantastic girl, not having to go back to school until the 26th. It was good stuff. Ed had been enjoying his time, just chilling around the house and hanging with his brothers. There just weren't any worries. Definitely a good thing. That day, he'd been mostly just bumming around the house and texting Mal. And, of course, trying not to get sick from the Rory plague of doom.
Channel surfing in the living room was the activity of choice that evening. There really wasn't anything that good on, so he was paying more attention to his phone and talking to Mal. And that was when the doorbell rang. Getting up off the couch, he went to the door to open it. Amelia, or Noodle as he also knew her, was standing on the other side. "Oh, hey," he said with a smile. "Here to see Gio?" Ed stepped back out of the doorway so that she could come inside. IT was really cold outside, after all.
