Edith's eyes grew dark at his words. "Why would Eward send somebody to kill you?" she asked, a dangerous tone to her voice. She was already upset with Eward and now she suddenly had another reason to hate him. Eward might have been her favorite brother for most of her life, but he had threatened their family and that was most important to her.
"I missed you, too," Edith said softly, wrapping her arms around him in a hug and resting her head against his shoulder. She was usually so harsh to everyone, so emotionless and yet, it felt so good to be able to be soft and gentle for once in her life.
