"Can I ask you something?" My voice sounds low and dangerous, even to me, but Edward seems relieved.
"Please. Ask me anything."
The hope in his eyes is unnerving, so I look at the floor.
"If everything you tell me is true… if you really want this to go beyond this summer, why haven't I met your friends? Why are you hiding me?"
I'm certain I know the reason – it's to keep his friends, like Mike, from giving up his game.
There is a protracted pause before he answers with surprise in his voice. "Do you want to meet them?"
