Sorry, but I have some trouble faking it. We didn't really get along.
[And the woman sighs, a little exasperated. But sort of as if she was expecting it. Like she's used to this. Not in a fond way.]
"Well, now, Edward, to be fair... You didn't exactly make it easy for him."
[At that... Edward tenses up. It's subtle, really. His guard was already up, so it's only noticeable if you really look. His expression is shifting in the same subtle way, as well. A little more withdrawn, right away.

He's quiet for a beat longer than he has to be.]
