Following breakfast, Hannah invited Edwin to join her in the upstairs study.
“What’s going on?”
When Hannah shut the door, Edwin’s suspicions grew.

Seated now, Hannah locked eyes with Edwin.
“Is there something you’re not telling me? This is your last chance to be honest.”
“I swear, I’ve got nothing to hide! I’ve been focused on my studies lately, you know that!” Edwin protested, his voice rising.
“Listen, I’ve changed. Why would I go out and create problems? Trust me!
Who’ve you been talking to? Don’t listen to rumors! I’ve been honest.
I’ve been studying at school recently!”
Hannah studied Edwin’s earnest face. He didn’t appear to be lying.
“I trust you, which is why I’m asking. What’s the deal between you and Jenny?”
Edwin’s eyes widened in surprise.

“Jenny? Why bring her up? I told you before, she’s been chasing after me, but I have no interest in her!”
Convinced he was sincere, Hannah sighed and said, “Please, sit back down.”
Seeing her expression, Edwin grew anxious.
“What’s the matter? You keep mentioning Jenny. Did she say something to you last night?”
Realizing she couldn’t always protect Edwin, Hannah decided to tell him the truth.
“Jenny drugged both of us yesterday. I didn’t drink much, so I woke up early. She had you taken to a room. If I hadn’t found out in time, either you or she would be the one calling me today.”
Chilled to the bone, Edwin stammered, “What… What’s wrong with Jenny? Why would she do that to me? This is insane!”
“You need to ask yourself,” Hannah said.
“Have you done anything to provoke her at school?”
Edwin felt wronged.
“I’ve done nothing wrong, yet she won’t leave me alone. I’ve told her repeatedly that we’re not meant to be.”
